Q: I am a health freak and I love swimming. I have severe cold and I have developed sinusitis around my left eyebrow area. I want to continue swimming without getting the cold again. How can I prevent cold and continue swimming?

A:You can continue swimming safely. Yes, the incidence of sinusitis is slightly higher in swimmers, especially if you dive down. But unless your sinusitis symptoms are too severe, just ignore. Finally, you have to decide.
