Swimmer's Sinusitis

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?

  • i have had a similar problem ... constant sinus pressure and pain with or without sneezing ... had to use flonase and the neti-pot just to keep it manageable and would still wind up in the doctors office ... 6 weeks ago i started with nose clips for probably 2/3 of my work out (still have problems with it sprinting freestyle) but my sinusitis has cleared up with the nose clips ... Yea !!!
