cannot say in yoru particular case BUT, it sure does sound like a sinus infection. These occur primarily as a plain chance COINCDENCE with quitting cigarrettes. Some one with a history of sinus problems in flu season especially is at very high likelihood of sinus infection. Quitting cigarettes will LOWER the risk ... .eventually, but that takes months.
