HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is not likely that the infections are linked.
The nasal passages and the upper aspect of the GI tract (throat) are linked and this is the reason that you would have seen vomitus through your nose.
The bacteria that is associated with sinus infections varies from those that cause gastroenteritis.
I hope this helps
