Can a pediatric sinus infection cause seizures?

Answer by  patti (29325)

A sinus infection in and of itself is not likely cause a seizure. A high fever associated with a sinus infection (or another illness) could cause a febrile seizure. Febrile seizures, while being very scary, generally do not have any long term health effects. Report any seizures to the pediatrician immediately.
