CBCT/ sinus cyst/ ENT - molar pain

Severe left 2nd molar pain, cheek hurts. Feel like something stuck between 2nd and 1st molar in gum, Gum is sensitive as well. Went to see dentist, 2 Endodonists, 2 CBCT scans. CBCT sent to endo radiology for a report

findings: No radiographic evidence of pathology of pulpal origin. Mild to Moderate mucositis of non-odontogenic origin involving the floor of the left maxillary sinus. The pedunculated contour of the left inferior nasal concha is likely associated with allergic changes. Referral to an otolaryngologist (ENT) is recommended to further evaluate sinus and nasal findings.

Went to ENT and he shrugged that retention cysts are normal and incidental. I’ve had a left retention cyst for years show up on MRI. This is first time I have had pain. Was using an electric toothbrush when this started 6 weeks ago. I also have some stuffiness on the left side of my nose I also feel post nasal drip. Been doing nasal rinses with salt and xylitol for 2 weeks. Also added nasal steroid spray. Not helping at all. I don’t have a tooth below so no occlusion. I just also had Botox done because I do grind and have a history of atypical facial pain.

Should I add anything to my routine, allergy tests etc. meds . Going to see second ENT.
