“Does a sinus infection make you tired?”
I am a 15 year old male and I have sinusitis. I am tired almost all the time. Does a sinus infection make you tired?

Sure can, because you’re using energy to fight it.
During an infection, it is not uncommon to have fatigue.

Dear fellow,
Thanks for your question. Having only the very little details about your symptoms and your medical condition, it is very difficult to answer to your question. However, speculating a bit around the subject your "tiredness" may be a result of the low oxygenation due to the sinusitis you are complaining about. It is very important what medication are taking for it, other additional medical problem you may have and so on. If you only presume you do have a sinusitis, my advise to you is to visit an ENT specialist or a general practitioner that will guide you for proper and adequate investigations and treatment.
Stay safe,
Dr. Florin PAUL
