Should get better.: If the cause of the elevated lymphocytes was the sinus infection, treating the sinus infection (if bacterial) or after it resolves w/time (if viral) the lymphocyte count will decrease. any infection can cause a temporary increase in the lymphocytes, which is a good thing, since these cells fight infections. If the counts remain high, the infection may not be completely better or other causes exist
