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'm surprised no one has mentioned a steroid based nasal spray such as Nasacort or Flonase and any of the others in that tribe. My eight year old son just started swim team this year and was having a serious problem with nasal congestion to the point where I thought he'd have to drop swimming. His doctor prescibed one of the steroidal nasal sprays (can't remember which) and it's worked wonders. Because they get such a small dose these sprays are pretty harmless-you aren't going to see the problems assoicated with longterm oral steroids.
