Is Water Discharge From Nose, 20 Minutes After A Swim Normal?

Hi,
I went swimming today in a salt water pool. After i had gotten out, took a shower, and laid down for 20 mintues. I went to tie up my hair and noticed water coming out after i stood back up. I've repeatly bent over and drained my nose. But do I have anything to worry about

Hi

Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum

The watering of the nose is not very common after swimming. If it happens, it can be either due to allergy to the contents in the water or vasomotor rhintis.

You can try taking OTC antihistamine such as fexofenadine or loratidne, This will reduce your symptoms.

Regards
