Hi,
I understand your query.
Sinus infection is due to blockage of sinus outlet by allergic inflammation/ thick mucus plug... collected secretions in sinuses get infected to form sinusitis.
The origin of all the symptoms being similar ( allergy,-congestion- infection )& there being anatomical connection between Throat-nose- sinus, common cold, sinusitis, throat & lung involvements tend to follow each other/ seen all together.
The breathing trouble can be due to congestion & blocked nostrils Or allergic bronchitis
A sufficient course of suitable antibiotic/ anti inflammatory & anti allergic drugs with ENT specialist's advise would relieve her.
thanks.
