Does sinus have any relation with allergy and cold?
Patient: I read that Allergens can cause sinus infections. I keep getting head colds, sinus infections, last was upper respitory. Now another sinus thing. I've come to believe I have an allergy to sewing fabric. I worked on a project over the weekend and got a little itchy so I washed the second project.  Wondering if my sinus thing is related to this type of allergy? I would think not that would only cause a rash, but once I had an allergic reaction so bad I was in the hospital multiple times and they said it was so sever that I must have ingested whatever was causing it. Only later did I realize it had to be the quilt I was continually working on. Doctor: HI, sinus infection is secondary to  repeated common cold attacks getting secondary infection,if person has low resistance.    So, allergy being  one of  the instigating factor in repeated colds ,may be blamed for sinusitis.    Yes one can be allergic to fabric/quilt dust fibers -inhaled & manifested as allergic rhinitis ( common cold)allergy .     You need to-        - get allergy testing, followed by avoiding allergens/ a desensatization treatment for removing allergy.        - have a nutritive diet,exercises,respiratory exercises,vitamin,iron,supplements( if advised by your doctor)        Thanks.
