I often catch colds on airplanes, and two days after arriving at Bonaire (or wherever) I get all stuffed up. Once my nose and sinuses get stuffy, the mucus drains down my throat into my bronchial tubes, which then become infected with bacteria, producing bronchitis. I used to have to take antibiotics for the secondary bronchial infection. The whole thing will sometimes last for weeks.
I have learned to manage colds by taking heavy doses of phenylephrine HCL tablets. They dry me up instantly and prevent the secondary bronchial infection. The cold is often gone in three days.
