if you have a nasal discharge would you use the rubric catarrh or coryza? is on used for cold symptoms only? what about a discharge from allergies to mold or dogs, etc?
if there is swelling of the area above the eyebrows during a sinus infection, which rubric would apply specifically for this area? thanks, dhyan

These are the definitions from Cara
*Catarrh (Nose) (C)*
"Sense of fullness in the head, and of weight over the eyes which are weak and watery; the nostrils are obstructed and pour forth a fluid which is at first thin and acrid and excoriates the skin around the nostrils, but which afterwards becomes thicker and often purulent". W. equates Catarrh with Coryza and a "cold" and distinguishes the medical usage from the popular usage which is applied only to "a chronic affection of the mucous membrane of the nostrils and fauces".
CORYZA

*Coryza (C)*
"Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nostrils or the eyes etc". MLH.:"The term applied to acute or chronic catarrh of the upper air passages, including the pharynx."
