Rhinitis and sinusitis

Rhinitis is the body's natural defense to get rid of microorganisms, allergens or foreign bodies. Rhinitis most often occurs during an infection. Due to inflammation, there is swelling and congestion of the nasal mucosa, which is associated with exudation. Initially, the discharge is watery and transparent, but over time it can turn white or greenish. It is worth watching the runny nose especially in a child so that the doctor can take the right treatment. Sinusitis manifests itself as a headache, pain in the forehead near the eyes, a feeling of a blocked nose, sometimes accompanied by fever and malaise.
