A member asked:
Can i develop a sinus infection after ent said no infection i have eye pain and headache for a week now and dry eyes and head pressure ?

Sure, see ENT: Unless the diagnosis was made within that week you could develop one. Possible even if it was a few days ago, as it may be subclinical and not diagnosed even if it was developing. Tap your forehead and cheekbones next to your nose. Bend over and see if it hurts. If these are positive, then you may have a sinus infection. Also, a copious clear or less copious yellowish thick discharge may indicate.

It is possible: The major causes of sinusitis are viral infection, bacterial infection or allergy and it could occur anytime. See your PCP for consultation and treatment if needed.
