Implant or Sinusitus?

I had the contraceptive implant put in 7 weeks ago.

I think for about the last week I've suffered with what seems to be the onset of sinusitis. My mum is convinced it's the implant but I don't want to rush to get it removed yet. Anyone know any good sinus medication? I can't take capsules (we found some sudafed but I can't take the capsule, do they make it in caplet form?) so yeah, can anyone help?

Has anyone had this side effect from the implant?

Thanks!
it does seem the time fo year for sinusitis. 3 of my friends have it.
they all use some decongestant stuff they wack up their nose. dunno the name tho, im a vickes vapour stick myself.

i had really bad sinusitus a few years ago, so bad i used to wake up due to excutiatingly bad headaches. they were considering draining them surgically, but in the end i had acupuncture and it went away. im not generally into that stuff but it worked so well that id recommend it to anyone. but if its not that bad sudafed and other decongestants seem to do the trick
