All connected: If you suffer from allergic rhinitis including symptoms of nasal congestion, running, postnasal drip, etc. these can worsen and effect your sinuses as well. If symptoms continued to worsen without proper treatment, your condition can progress to involve the sinuses. This is called aute sinusitis. Proper avoidance measures of triggers and treatment with nasal sprays and antihistamines can help.
