Can you get a sinus infection after getting over a cold? i recently got over a bad cold. now i have pain and pressure in my head and around my eyes. could this be a sinus infection?

Yes : Yes it is quite possible that your cold may have progressed to a sinus infection... You may want to be examined by an ear nose and throat physician...

Initial : Initial treatment for viral URI usually involves symptomatic management (i.e., fluids, rest, nsaids, decongestants, etc.). When symptoms persist beyond a week, particularly if they are worsening, often it is treated with a course of antibiotics. A good ENT exam should be able to support a diagnosis of sinusitis. Upper respiratory infections and allergens are common triggers for development of secondary bacterial sinusitis.
