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?

  • had yearly sinus infections despite saline flush and flonase daily ... 2 years ago forced myself to use nose plugs and lo and behold no problems in that time and no more saline flush and flonase ... and i think i'm finally getting used to the nose plugs !
