What Causes Sore Throat And Sinus Infection?

I had botox injections around my eyes on Dec 29th and came down with a very bad sore throat and sinus infection Dec 31st. Could this be the result of the botox? I m having a hard time getting rid of the sinus infection, I ve taken a z-pak a week ago but still feel very bad. Can I use a hot compress on my sinuses, with the botox they said not to massage the area.
