What can be done to prevent getting sick (cold, sore throat) while traveling. My wife gets sick every time!?
Question:
Answers:
Hola..in addition to the vit c(she should start at least 1 week prior to flying) add zinc..both the zinc and c are available in flavorful lozengers..I would also purchase saline nose drops instill a few in each nare during the flight and blow your nose.This will help in keeping your nasal passages clean. Most colds (upper respitory infections) are caused by airborne particles and since the air on an airplane is recirculated .(so are the germs)Also be sure to wash your hands .You could purchase a face mask.but risk the chance of being mistaken for Michael Jackson. Most importantly have FUN.unless your immune system is compromised chances are you won't get sick from riding on an airplane

Airbourne is really good. It helps boost your immune system. I always used to get sick when I would travel and I started taking it about 3 days I left and during each day of the trip and I never got sick.
Most people get "sick" because of the nasal passages drying out, and then getting irritated, so make sure you drink plenty of water and wash your hands frequently.
Honest to God..i did work for me and it will for you.
Wash your hand more often.
Avoid touching your face.
Vitamin C and multi vitamin during weather change.
Try JOGGING as much as you can.
