How to figure out if i have a cold or a sinus problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Difficult: A cold is a runny nose caused by a virus. Sinusitis is a little more serious but starts almost always with a cold. Rhino-sinusitis has usually the following symptoms. Yellow-green mucus drainage, fullness and pain and pressure in the mask of the face, severe post-nasal drainage, pain between the eyes and above the eyes or on top of the head. Usually you are sicker with a sinus infection.
