Travellers' virus: Sinus, cough, congestion, & sore throat after stress of travel, unique environment, loss of sleep, & airplane atmosphere common. A novel virus is oft explanatory. Antibiotics are oft useless; unlike rest, vitamin c, clean fresh air, healthy food, & passage of several days. If yellowish sputum, shortness of breath, chest pain, or escalating fever manifest then a doctor visit is in order.
