Do sinus cause neck pain?

My mother always tells me to apply a warm ginger paste for sinus headaches, but when the pain spread to my neck, I went to our family doctor. He explained that sinus congestion can cause muscle tension in the neck, and prescribed proper nasal drops which worked.

Please don't assume neck pain is just sinus pressure based on online articles. Neck stiffness can sometimes be a sign of cervical issues or even more serious infections. Get it evaluated by a doctor to be absolutely sure of the cause.

I have been having this dull ache at the back of my neck along with a cold. Is sinus neck pain usually a sharp pain or is it more like a constant heavy feeling?

I just recovered from a severe sinus infection last week and my neck was so stiff I couldn't even turn my head properly. Once the sinus congestion cleared up with steam inhalation and meds, the neck pain vanished completely.
