Is There Any Correlation Between Sinus Infection And Concussion?

I had a very bad concussion in early December - I was zombie like unable to do anything for 2 months and dealt with symptoms for 5 months. Now that I m better and don t suffer concussion symptoms anymore Ive had 4 sinus infections months apart that have required antibiodics. I feel that there could be a correlation between my concussion and now being susceptible to sinus infections. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The sinus infection has nothing to do with concussion. These two are entirely different conditions.
Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like azithromycin(if you are not allergic). You need to get a CT done to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed we can treat accordingly.
I hop i have answered your query. Take care.
