Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

High white blood count can be due to infection, stress, bone marrow disease/immune disorder or some type of cancer or even medication with corticosteroids. Since you are already diagnosed with sinus, infection may be a cause of the swelling. You might be having swollen lymph nodes. Consult an ENT specialist, get all investigations & tests done. Your treatment will depends on the reports of the investigations done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
