A member asked:
I have a sore throat/cough. i went swimming-indoor pool-and next day throat and cough worse. should i still swim today or rest until all better?

Wait until better: Would be best to wait until feeling better. That way you would not be putting other swimmers at risk from your coughing. Also this will give your body some time to "heal" naturally.
