Allergist and Immunologist Questions Sinusitis

Are sinus infections contagious?

My mother has sinusitis and so do I, what are the chances that she gave it to me?

Thank you for the questions. Sinus infections are not contagious and they cannot be passed from one person to another like other respiratory infections - common cold, the flu, Strep throat are some examples of contagious illnesses. 
I hope you and your mom feel better soon.
