Q: can a sinus infection cause nose bleed? how come my symptoms such as hoarseness, sore throat, runny nose, and nasal congestion only getting worse?

Sinuses &amp; Epistaxis.: The inflammation caused by sinus infection, along with the pure violence of constantly blowing your nose, can lead to nosebleeds in the context of a sinus infection That being said, sinus infections tend to be bacterial, so you may be getting worse because you need an antibiotic.
