Antibiotics?

[goldilocks]

The first thing I do in my hotel room is check the air conditioner filter if it is accessible. 99.99% of the time it is filthy. I pull it out and clean it with a bleach solution and it really helps one's breathing.

Not to go totally natural here on you, but turmeric is great for congestion and mucus. Lots of turmeric root in JA. Just something to keep in mind to supplement the meds if she happens to come down with a case.

Tell me more! Out of the 8 trips I have taken to Jamaica, 6 of them I have ended up with a nasty head and chest cold about three days in, sore throat, cough, stuffy/runny nose and just plain ickyness.. I haven't gotten sick the last two trips and *knock on wood* I won't get sick this April, I am hoping that since I am currently in the middle of a bad cold/flu that this will be enough, LOL! but I would love to know about some other options to ease the suffering should it happen! Is this something you can get at a local market? Or is it a tea?

See the pharmacist at the Negril Pharmacy. He will know what you need without a lot of drama and the price is reasonable. I had to get an antibiotic a few years ago and someone at my hotel told me to go there.

I get tonsillitis all the time. I always bring a dose of antibiotics with me prescribed from my Doctor in the US. In our 8 trips, I have only needed them once but I was glad I had them.
