Brief Answer:
Yes Sinus infection could be underlying cause

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for getting back. Yes there is a possibility that these symptoms are due to sinus infection. I would suggest you to perform following measures:

- Cetirizine one at night for 3 days
- acetaminophen thrice a day for 2 days
- Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
- Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day.

AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food

Hopefully you will see improvement in 2-3 days BUT if condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital & get an appointment for a "Consultant ENT Specialist" for examination and start of antibiotic therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
