Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
This sinus infection may not be related to your implant
I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics.
2) Analgesic like tablet paracetamol for pain relief.
3) Oral decongestant like tablet levocetrizine with phenylephrine.
4) Steam inhalation.
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
Regards,
