Swimmer's Sinusitis

Former Member

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?

    What happens if sinusitis is left untreated? I only went to the doctor once for my sinusitis and got t treated but it came back several times after that and I just took ibuprofen for it and it worked for a little while but it comes back every couple of weeks. Is it that bad if I leave this untreated like I have before?
