I was diagnosed a week ago with viral otitis media, meaning it just has to "run its course" rather than be treated with antibiotics. However, I am itching to get back in the pool. I don't feel all that great -- I still have a sore throat from the drainage and also lots of gunk coming out of my nose, but I'm functional (going to work, etc.). My hearing is still quite impaired but I am not dizzy or anything.
I am hoping someone else on here has gone through this type of illness, and when you felt like you could get back in the pool. I was supposed to do a triathlon tomorrow but I pulled out because I still don't feel healthy.

Thanks in advance, Kama
Tip 1. Ask your G.P. Tip 2. Do not commence training until you have completely recovered from illness.
