Common cold, or simply 'cold', and sinus infection are related. Infection of the sinuses or sinusitis is a complication of common cold.

The nasal cavity communicates with the sinuses and hence an infection of the nose can result in sinusitis. The maxillary sinus, which lies within the upper-jaw bone, is most frequently affected. The frontal sinuses are involved less frequently.
