Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. You should avoid swimming for the girl. Sinus has opening when the water enters into the opening there is chance of infections. You can use some waterproof material that can give cover to the sinus preventing infection. So avoiding a swimming is a better option. Because once the infection starts it will be very difficult to cure it in colonial sinus. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
