Those of you who travel for work a lot

Suggestions for remedies to quickly expunge headcolds, or at least how to manage them on a ~5 hour flight? I will be bringing pain killers & decongestants, but any recommendations would be good. I need to be functional by then.

Just before the flight drink ONE NeoCitron. On the flight take some Ibuprofen. Sleep a little. When you are on the ground do Otrivin Nasal Mist.

Very temporary, and not so good for you, but you will be functional for your time you're there.

Buckleys also works wonders...if you can keep it down.

Buckleys always makes me barf - for about 2 hours after it, so yah, not so much.

Thanks, babe.

It takes me about 10 minutes of concentration and arguing for dominance over my tummy in order for it to stay down, but after that I'm always happy I reigned supreme 'cause it works.

I've tried that. It just makes the barfing last longer. I'm thinking there's something in the concoction that just hits me the *wrong* way.

on the bright side vomiting should clear your sinuses..... *ducks for cover*

Actually, rarely does. Usually makes them worse.
