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 asked this very question in the past, and have yet to totally fix my runny nose/sneezing problem. The saline spray helped one or two times, but I did not use it BEFORE swimming -- which I may now try. I cannot comfortably swim with nose clips as part of my breathing is exhaling through the nose. At the worst times I have taken an allergy pill, but am rather anti-pills, and use this only in more dire circumstances.
I think my "main" pool has more chlorine than others and suspect this is the culprit of my problem. I have swum in 2 other pools and have not suffered the same malady. I will continue my search for the solution.
