Every time I start back swimming, I get sinusitis. I can lay off of swimming for about a month and it clears up. There appears to be some research to indicate that this happens to some people, but I cannot find any indication that there is anything that can be done to stop it. I will have to stop swimming altogether if I cannot find a way to control this. I have tried nose clips, but I still get infected sinuses.
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution that worked for them?
Conniekat may be right. A lot of swimmers have a sensitivity to high concentrations of chlorine, and while most of these allergy-type reactions tend to cause asthma, or sports-induced asthma, you could be reacting to it with sinusitis.
Definitely talk to your doctor about this, or see an allergist to see what can be done about it.
