This has been the picture of me for the last 15 days (who's counting?). I've had a terrible sinus infection/upper respiratory yuck going on for so long that I kind of forget what it feels like to be the normal Mary Ann. I was hoping this morning when I woke up I would feel like a new woman...not so much. Still coughing. Still fatigued (I think that's the worst part). Still getting sinus headaches. Still blowing my nose way too much. I've finished a full 10 day course of antibiotics & I've been popping M*cinex DM like a junkie. I'm just praying that I can get over the whole deal completely before I fly next week. My ears can't hardly handle a flight when I'm 100 % well so I'm fairly certain that 3 flights on my way to Vienna could be completely miserable if I'm stuffy headed.
What do you think - is Airborne effective? Should I try it? And does anyone have any flying tips they would like to pass along? I'm always happy to get travel advice so let me know what you know!

I actually read an article that said the inventor/maker of airborne had to reimburse people because it doesn't work. When I fly, I take ear planes with me. You get them in the pharmacy aisle. They kind of look like plastic screws. They have worked really well.
Any effectivenss Airborne has is b/c it is packed full of vitamins. It definitely wouldn't hurt, but you might be better of taking lots of vit. C and a little echinacea.
I second Erin's suggestion - ear plugs or something like it. I've even just plugged my ears on landings and it seems to help.
