Get vaccinated : It is best to get vaccinated to prevent illnees. If you get sick you need prescription anti-viral medication that if started early may shorten the illness by a couple of days.

Flu while traveling: Hydrate well w water, herbal teas, soup or juice. Drink sufficiently to have pale to light yellow urine. You can use pain relievers like tylenol (acetaminophen) or nsaid’s. Rest a lot! in some situations antiviral medications (tamiflu, relenza, flumadine) may be prescribed w/n first couple of days of sx’s to hasten healing. Getting a flu shot is the best prevention ! be safe on your trip.
