Yes, a sinus infection can cause nerve inflammations and pain in the neck due to swollen lymph nodes. If it's a viral infection, bedrest is the best cure, but see a doctor for treatment.

A sinus infection may very well cause nerve inflammations and neck pain, as the neck and nasal passages are inter-related.

Pain in sides and back of neck, ear pain, pressure and pain in sinus and very fatigued with Nausea after eating and sore throat. Its horrible, no insurance and cannot afford a doc visit. Concerned infection will spread, its been four days and I don't really feel any better.
