Rhinorrhea

Symptoms

Rhinorrhea is the filling of the nasal cavity with mucus. Popularly known as a “runny nose.” Mucus blocks the airways in the nose, making it difficult to breathe through the nose. Air accumulates in the sinuses, leading to headaches and facial pain, increasing the risk of developing sinusitis.
