Does sinus infection cause lungs to hurt ?

Dr. Hesham Hassaballa answered

Specializes in Pulmonary Critical Care

Not usually: A sinus infection is usually in your head/face/cheeks. It should not, typically, cause your lungs to hurt. Unless, of course, the infection tracked down into your lungs and caused pneumonia. Would get checked out.
