[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint in case if you have pain in upper gums and is not localized to a single tooth and there is tenderness on palpating the area near the cheek bone, it can be due to infection in the sinuses as the floor of sinuses lies in close location with the upper teeth. I would however suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologies and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x-ray and MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Phenylephrine. Steam inhalations and using a humidifier in your room can help. You can be advised steroid nasal sprays and saline nasal irrigation. Avoid spicy and chilled foods and air-conditioned atmosphere. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
