I swim in the eveneing, and the next day I cannot stop sneezing, and my nose drips uncontrollably. My doctor recommended placing a thin coat of vaseline on the inside of my nose, which I did. It worked successfully for a few months, now it does not appear to be working. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if they have any suggestions/recommendations. Thanks!

  • I have had the same problem in the past. The only thing that helps me is taking a long steamy shower and washing as much of the chlorine as possible off my body and hair before I leave the pool! If I don't, I'm miserable afterwards! If that does not help, you may need to go to a E.N.T. (ear,nose,throat) Dr. and get checked out. There are so many things that could be causing this! Change your air filter on your central air/heater frequently too! If you are worse in the morning, it could be something in your house that you are reacting to.
