Does sinus infection cause puss pockets on throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typically: While sinusitis may result in symptoms of post-nasal drainage and discharge down the throat leading to sore throat symptoms, sinus infections typically will not cause pus pockets in the throat or tonsils.
