Sinus infections are infections of the air spaces in the skull.Though of similar symptoms a flu is majorly caused by a virus and the sinuses sometimes harbour various organisms that can lead to recurrent bodily infections.
U should get a PNS Xray and follow up in case of repeated symtoms to rule out.
If positive findings u would have to start a broad spectrum antibiotic to clear the sinuses and prevent recurrent symptoms.
