If you have a chronic disease like having a stuffy nose caused by allergies, do you say "I have rhinitis" or "I have sinus infection"?
"Rhinitis" seems quite a medical term, and I heard from Americans that they usually say "sinus infection" even for "rhinitis". "Sinus infection" is a more serious disease than "rhinitis", but they seem to use only one.
What do you think?
