I've taken a fair chunk of this page out. Arguably, it has very little to do with catarrh, and should be in the barotrauma page if anywhere. It's reproduced below. Darkaddress 16:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Time-varying properties

Blockage is often time-varying, e.g. some days are better than others, etc.. For example, a person can be entering the baths from a height of 5m one week, and the next week can be in severe pain entering from only the 1m board, or even just from the side of the pool, in which case the person is said to be "having a bad ear day".

Avoiding adverse effects

Open windows before slamming car doors or trunk. (Power windows may be troublesome if doors are opened and closed when the car is powered down.)

Use stairs rather than elevators (good exercise as well).

Running through sprinklers and spray fountains may be a good alternative to jumping into a pool because although the spray gets water in the ears, it doesn't hurt because it doesn't make a tight seal like when jumping into a pool, where sudden increase in pressure can cause barotrauma.

Wearing a lifejacket can help by reducing the depth of entry when jumping into, or accidentally falling into, a bath or natural body of water.

Sounds Piratey

Redirection to rhinitis

This article should probably redirect to rhinitis or nasal congestion, or might just state: Catarrh is a kind of nasal congestion that often follows rhinitis. All the rest seems of little relevance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.89.198.12 (talk) 02:18, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
