Can an allergy to milk cause sinus infections whenever it is eaten? my older friend thinks she is allergic to 25 foods and if ingested, she will get sinus infections. then she has to go get antibiotics. can that be true?

You : You can get congestion from various foods some allergic in nature, others not. Antibiotics are only needed if you really have an infection. Overuse can lead to resistance of the bugs and much worse problems, when the drug is really needed.

Agree : Agree that nasal congestion can be caused by certain foods. True sinus infection is unlike;y to be caused by foods.
