had a tooth extraction upper (next to wisdom) 16 days ago here by a local dentist. He told me it is a sinus perforation with 2mm hole. He use plug and stitch and put me on 10 days antibiotic after the extraction.
After 14 day, the dentist open the stitch; then the day after the stitch removed, when I rinse my mouth there is a little water coming out my nose. I planned to visit an oral surgern but she and my dentist said there is a good change to close up naturally and asked me to wait for a week. At this moment, do I need to take antibiotics again to prevent sinus infection?
what kind of oral surgern can you recommend?

I am sort of worried, heard sinus infection cannot be taken easliy. You advice was highly appreciated.
