Could Painting Trigger Sinusitis?
Can [gloss]painting cause problems with sinusitus? Not sure if this is just a winter malady, but I've had a sore throat, coughing and really bad sinus problems [with yellow mucus] for 8 days now. It's happened after we've been decorating. Could something in the paint have triggered this?

Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Sir, your thought of paint causing sinusitis can be true. The paint acts as an allergen and cause sinusitis called allergic sinusitis. What ever is the cause you need to take an antibiotic course along with antihistamines.
Hope this guides you, thank you.
