I have been diving for about 1 year and seem to always end up with some type of sinus infection a few days after diving. May or may not be coincidental to the diving. It has not happened every single time, just a enough times to make me wonder what is going on.
My most recent visit to my doctor got an unusual response to the issue. The doctor said that studies have shown that 90+% of these sinus infections are related to viruses and not bateria and that anti-biotics had no effect. Which of course made sense......
What does not make sense, is that I continue to get sinus infections a couple days after diving.
I wanted to throw the question out for discussion and see what others thought.
My dive profiles have to-date been in fresh water with max depth of 100fsw.
Thanks in advance for your advice and insight.
