RE: Flying Colds

When I have to fly with a cold, ie: stuffed up nose, blocked ears, I try to buy some Afrin, or a store variety, of a nasal spray. It does wonders for 12 hours, and the altitude will hardly affect the symptoms. There is a caveat with these nasal sprays though. They are not to be used more than twice per day, and no more than THREE DAYS in a row. This should take care of the problems with flying with a cold.
