Thank you for writing on health care magic

Well, you have acquired an infection of the upper respiratory tract..These infections can happen when the patients are on biological drugs, but we normally tend to skip the doses till the infection subsides..I would suggest you do a course of antibiotics as well as the infections can get prolonged..

2. The blisters are also due to the injection..Either it may not have been injected properly or it is the same infection going on...

Never the less, I would suggest you stop the injections for time being..And take a course of antibiotics...Give it a try again once the sinus infection goes off..

Hope the information was useful
