Culture refers to the shared patterns of feelings, beliefs and behaviour that reflect in the way of living in a society. Cultural factors influence understanding, presentation, diagnosis, management, course and outcome of many diseases. Running nose or Rhinorrhoea is a common condition affecting people of all ages.
