A member asked:
My son had a sinus infection from a cold and took antibiotics. he feels better, but is still a bit congested with a slight cough. can he go surfing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If he is feeling up to it then it should be ok. Bear in mind he might have some balancing issues as there may be some fluid pressure up in his ears that may affect the body's sense of balance. A bit of a salt water rinse (ocean) may help the congestion. I would avoid using any antihistamines/cold medications as they may also affect his balance. http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/commoninfections/a/sinusitis.htm
