So are sinusitis and rhinisinusitis same.
What are the reasons for that. I am not allergic to anything . So it must not be allergic, it is not from nose alone my nasal drip too, nasal drip from the nasopharynx that comes into mouth and from spitting through mouth is also bloody, can this also be a sign of rhinisinusitis? How to stop it permanently , and I stay in South so there is no chance of cold place.
