It's interesting that you've noticed an improvement in nasal congestion after the extraction of your upper molar tooth. While it may seem unusual, there can be some connections between dental issues and nasal congestion. The upper teeth and sinuses are closely related anatomically, and problems with the teeth or sinuses can sometimes affect each other.
In some cases, an infected or inflamed tooth in the upper jaw can lead to sinus congestion or sinusitis. The extraction of the tooth may have relieved the underlying dental issue, which in turn could have alleviated the associated nasal congestion.
While it's a positive development that you no longer require nasal sprays for breathing on the side of the extracted tooth, it's still a good idea to consult with both a dentist and an ENT specialist to investigate the relationship between your dental condition and nasal congestion. They will be able to provide a more accurate assessment based on your specific situation, perform necessary examinations, and determine the most appropriate course of action.
