Could Recurring Cold After Swimming Be Due To Allergy?
Hi Doctor, I seem to catch a cold these days everytime i go swimming. I have been swimmimng for about 10 years now, but suddenly i have become sensitive to the pool water. Just half an hour after I get out of the pool i start sneezing and then the next day I would end up with blocked nose and soar throat. Do you think i have become allergic to something?

hellooo....in my opinion it can be due to something related to chlorination of water...suddenly they might have changed the water purification system...it can cause allergy...i am telling this bcoz i had got the same prob...it was due to chlorinatiin problem....in my opinion you just stop going for swimming for few days and see...then aftr that try going...it might solve ur prob...hope you got my suggestion..have a great day!!
