Is Drainage And Sneezing Sign For Acute Sinusitis?

I am experiencing what I believe to be acute sinusitis. I have the drainage, pressure, sneezing, and some other symptoms. I seem to get this about once year during the winter months. Does this always follow a cold? I didn't have any cold symptoms before this. I ask this because I am wondering if this is contagious.

ur problem is ALLERGIC Rhinitis.
it presents with sneezing and running nose .
more during winter season.
first decongestant nasal drops for a week can help.
if not ,
u need to use mometasone nasal spray for a period of 3 months , and that should be slowly reduced and not stopped suddenly.
