Yes: Sure that doesn't doing completely unreasonable- you could have maxillary or frontal sinusitis and this may not necessarily affect your nasal passage or make you stuffy . Hope that helps.

What is the difference between chronic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis. Are symptoms similar? Sinus pressure, post nasal drip. Some congestion that comes and goes. Drainage is clear when there is any. Would nasal endoscopy see sinuses for bacteria?
