Do sinus infections have coughs acompany them?

Yes, coughs are a common symptom of sinus infections. When the sinuses become inflamed and congested, it can cause excess mucus to drain down the back of the throat, leading to coughing. This type of cough is often referred to as postnasal drip cough or sinus cough. The mucus from the sinuses can irritate the tissues in the throat and trigger coughing fits. In some cases, the cough may be productive, meaning that it brings up mucus, while in other cases it may be a dry cough without any mucus. Additionally, coughing can further worsen sinus congestion and sinus pain.
