Only Use Bottled Water
I am sure you have heard that bit of advice so many times it not funny. It used to be a standard warning for anyone going to Central America or Mexico. Truth be told the warning was equally given to those from that region going to America or Europe. Each part of the world has their own unique germs, so it is relatively easy to get ill while traveling. Compound the possibility of exposure to germs in the close confines of an airplane and some sort of illness is inevitable. On the other side the more frequent that you travel the more your body will build up a tolerance, also these illness may made you feel bad but are seldom serious. If in doubt by all means seek medical attention.
Not Letting an Illness Ruin Your Travel
Getting sick will ruin your vacation or business trip. A good way to avoid getting ill is to drink plenty of clean bottled water. When you are dehydrated, your body is weak and prone to headaches and sickness. Try to drink at least 2 liters a day and 4-5 if the weather is humid and hot. This is easy to do and can be a lifesaver during your holiday or business trip. Try to limit your alcohol and caffeine intake as they can increase the effects of dehydration and make you go to the bathroom more.
Rest does wonders to help recover from an illness. I sure you do not want to sleep your vacation away but try to organize a short nap after lunch. If your planning a evening out, lay down for fifteen minutes before getting dressed for dinner. Indoor activities may be easier to handle so maybe a little rescheduling would help.
Ways To Prevent Illness
The best defense against illness is to limit some of your exposure to the thing which causes it. Avoid water as much as possible unless necessary and when you land stock up on fluids. The cabin air in a airplane is dry, and can cause dehydration. Try to get a good nights sleep before your trip. Lack of sleep and the stress of travelling can lower your immune system. Temperatures inside a plane can be chilly so make sure to have warm clothes on board. Keep a bottle of water handy, a small bottle of hand sanitizer, stretch you legs, take a multivitamin and moisturise regularly during flights.
As soon as you feel sick, get to a chemist and get some medicine. Some quick over the counter medicine can reverse the effects. Imodium and ginger candies are also good anytime your stomach is upset. These few remedies can save you a lot of disappointment. Carrying a small First Aid Kit or travellers kit should be something for you to consider. Having these essentials as well as a few more can make life a great deal more enjoyable. A small bottle of hand sanitizer may come in handy also.
When you arrive at your destination, ease into the local foods that you may see at venders, give your system a day to adapt. If you do become ill, use your best judgment on how much to do each day.
