What do you mean? In western medicine or in traditional Chinese medicine?

Hi MH,
I am talking about TCM . Does sinusitis is differs from alergic Rhinitis?
or only the different terms?

So it's different!
The sinusitis is a special problem in TCM, while the allergic rhinitis is considered an exterior syndrome.
There could be some similar syndromes for the two.
