A member asked:
Can pink eye be caused by a sinus infection? and also, can regular advil (ibuprofen) help with the sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Pink eye is not associated with a sinus infection but more likely from a viral infection. Advil (ibuprofen) may ease any aches or pains associated with sinusitis but will not cure it.
