Can you get sinus infections & migraines from allergies?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Allergens can produce migaines. Also, the introduction of an allergen can produce swelling of the nasal passages and the openings from the nasal passages to your paranasal sinuses producing a sinus infection.

Possibly: Certainly, allergies can trigger a sinus infection, especially if the allergies are not well controlled. In general, migraineurs are sensitive to just about anything that alters their routine. That could be lack of sleep, stress, dietary changes, dehydration, and many other things. So, if allergies flare and are not well managed, they could be a migraine trigger.
