Absolutely COVID can make sinuses worse. My immune system took a big hit after COVID. I am more prone to sinus infections since having COVID. I have a new ENT that has put me on a compounded medication that is mixed in with my saline solution to irrigate my sinuses. It has helped me not to have so many sinus infections. I had 6 last year. The solution is a prescription, but, it helps. It is called:Mupirocin/Budesonide 20 mg/0.6 mg capsule. This is out of pocket since it has to come from a compounding pharmacy.
I've had sinus issues since the early 80's along with allergies. I had sinus surgery in 1995. I learned that if you have a sinus infection that hangs on, its best to ask the ENT to culture your sinus and see what type of bacteria you are growing as then the right antibiotic can be administered.
I empathize with you. Sinus problems care tiring, painful and hard to treat. I wish you the best. Prayers....
