Nose cartilage pain, no redness or swelling

It’s so hard finding anyone who has experience this so maybe somebody can help me- I started having nose pain about 6 weeks ago. I had it off and on. I had no cold or congestion. I breathe just fine. I thought it was referred pain from a tooth extraction. Ever since I had tooth 12 removed a few months ago when I swallow it feels weird in the area where the oral surgeon drilled bone. It doesn’t hurt but it feels tight and close to nose. Anyway for whatever reason I associate the pain from that extraction even though the pain started almost 2 months after the extraction. The nose pain started getting worse.
I made appt with ent and finally saw ent- so by this time I let this go a little bit. He put scope up nose and said he did not see an issue. He did not treat me. Said maybe nerve pain.
2 weeks later I see another ent- same thing. Scope up nose and I don’t see an issue. So I went to a regular dr and got meds... the nose is acting weird- weird sensations. I got a sinus scan today. Will get results Monday. I am freaking out. I have forehead pressure as well. I can breathe fine. I am stressing out! I just started an antibiotic last night. From a regular dr. Anyway I’d scan comes back normal I don’t know what to do. I was thinking of going to Mayo Clinic to help solve this it is stressful!

@thelas1207 ive been dealing g with forehead pressure and then a host of other symptoms that were linked to some feeling, i can best describe as anxiety attacks, loss of appetite. It started early sep and has been persistent since. Brain mri, sinus it, dozen Dr's and current on course of prednisone but nothing really working. Never had covid, as far as I know. Been off work for months now. Last trip to urgent care they gave me toradol, anti inflammatory. It seemed to work and I felt close to good for about 24 hours. I started taking 800mg ibuprofen and that also seemed to really help even tho the pressure was still present. Please let us know if they find any answers and I will certainly do the same.

Hi I have not experienced the pain that you describe however I have a few questions ;
Which teeth were extracted top or bottom teeth? I just had an implant placed on my front tooth and they said that there could possibly be pain in my sinuses after the surgery. It is wise to consult a doctor since it might be an infection. As well you are fortunate to be able to go to the Mayo clinic , they may get to the root of your problem. No pun intended.
