I know that only a specific pool's water causes it for me (not lakes!) and it's so minor and temporary that this is what I've self diagnosed. Its also similar to when I mow the grass and get a little in my nose. Off to the pool to test their br levels with my nose! |

| 643 | Subject: RE: Nose drips after swims!! Most likely just thin mucus and not water. I don't have this issue but this year my throat produces more mucus when I swim in a pool to where I have to actively clear it. Didn't happen before but it does now. My swim coach always swims with a nose plug since after years of swimming, chlorine now really irritates his sinuses when it never used to. |

Champion 7704  Williamston, Michigan | Subject: RE: Nose drips after swims!! never mind drips I used to sneeze uncontrollably for HOURS. Like seriously I went thru boxes of tissues. I am very sensitive/allergic to the pool chemicals. Its worse in an indoor pool. Depending on the pool and how well or poorly they take care of it depends on which combination of allergy meds I need. Right now I have a very nice well maintained pool and I just take zyrtec, If they have shocked the pool I need singulair too. I swam in one that was so toxic you could see a cloud of chemicals over the water and I was taking 5 medications and using an inhaler. It was crazy. Try some zyrtec or Claritin they are both over the counter |
