Ease your mind and go see your ENT and get it checked out. Whenever you have something wrong like this for 2 weeks its time to see the doc. We all tend to think the worst whenever something in our mouth changes. The fear of a recurrence will always be with us. Dont worry just check it out so you can rule it out as the cause of your problems. I myself have sinus problems, its like I have a cold that never gets better from the radiation. Lets us know how you make out.
