A member asked:
Can a sinus infection make your head and face tingly? also will it give you a throbbing headache when you first wake up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes: Sinus infection can cause enough inflammation to last for a while -- and with inflammation comes pain, swelling and dysfunction of other systems within the area. So headaches, tingling, facial swelling, orbital swelling, sinus congestion, drowsiness, fatigue/malaise are all symptoms you can get. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
