Brief Answer:
Sinusitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
Sinusitis is not contagious but one person can always spread germs to the other. So avoid direct contact with an infected person during an acute infection.
Wet cough is productive in nature because mucous is formed in excess and coughing occurs to clear it off. Thick infected mucous is infectious too.

Any further questions are always welcome
Thanks and regards
