  4. supergloss said: Take sudafed an hour before your flight if your head feels even slightly stuffy to avoid barotrauma. Barotrauma is easy to get if you fly while sick and it is HORRIBLE; after 4 months my left ear still isn’t 100%. :/
  5. hellzyescassi said: My secret remedy for getting rid of a cold is lots of nasal spray (just saline). Lots of vitamin C, spicy soup, and a combo of 1 dayquil + 12 hour sudaphed.
  6. tickiotock said: Wonton or udon soup from a chinese food place, tea, and vitamin C, of course- also, make sure u have some tasty little natural cough drops to help keep your mind and mouth occupied on the plane lol. ;)
  7. yourgnomie said: Naked Juice (pumped up with Vitamin C) and some vitamin C tabs. Lots of water. Hot vapors… Then Vicks on the bottom of your feet then covered with socks. Works every time.
  8. wbee said: take a decongestant (if your chest is heavy), an anti-inflammatory, and lots of water (with fresh lemon if you can handle that). This is my tried and true cure to better days (even if it might only shorten a (5-day) cold by a day or two). cheers!
  9. itsaperfectcatastrophe said: Lots of food and lots of hot drinks. Plus, more sleep that you really need always seems to do the trick for me. Whenever I’m sick, I eat constantly.
  10. howdomermaidsfuck said: vitamin c. either a vitamin c tablet (which is like 1000 mg) or a lot of orange juice. plus a lot of water.
