Drink lots of fluid and take care of yourself. Try to get extra sleep if you can.

When ever I start to feel a little under the weather I take Oregamax:

I buy it at a local health food store. It apparently is a immune system booster. I also take probiotics.

Elderberry (sambucol), echinecea, golden seal .... extra vitamin C and D.

Drink tons of fluids, soup with lots of fresh garlic, and rest.

If you are feeling crappy once you leave then rely on meds to treat your symptoms ... mucinex, sudafed (the real stuff behind the pharmacy counter),delsym (for nighttime cough), tylenol or advil (for headache, aches and pain, fever).

Hope you feel better quickly. BTDT being sick on trips and it can be a real bummer!

Zinc (coldeeze and the like), chicken soup (actually been proven..google it!), Advil for the swelling and discomfort, lots of water (maybe some wine if it makes you happier, lol), and rest as much as possible until you leave!

With those symptoms, I reach for 1000mg of vitamin C twice daily (usually with breakfast and then supper). Works for me.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Vitamin C & chicken soup with lots of garlic always helps me.

:hug: I hope you feel much better, very soon!
