Getting cold while flying
Go back to the 737 !!!
Sorry, couldn't resist :) |
Get an Irvin jacket; it worked for my Dad in his Lanc.............

Check out aero toxic web site. Not to be alarmist but worth ruling out. B757 and B767 are well known for fumes. People react differently to these so have a read and get a blood test if you think that is worthwhile.

If you are sick as described - are you fit to fly?

your original post is unclear
are you suffering from an infection ? or are you just cold sitting in the plane...that is chilly? if you are just chilly, turn the heat up, its over your head isn't it? IF you have a stuffed nose, illness etc, I encourage you to read: SINUS SURVIVAL It is a book I read 20 years ago and it explains that the ONLY people who have worse problems are coal miners. AIRLINE CREWS are next. It is a hard life, you are dehydrated, the sinus passages dry out and crack allowing infection to thrive. There are also FUME issues as others have been writing about. SEE A VERY GOOD EAR NOSE AND THROAT SPECIALIST, make sure it is not an allergy. Find a Doctor who was a military flight surgeon, he will understand better than anyone else. In the meantime, take long , steamy showers to help clear your nose. |
Sinus health has been key to my well being. Irrigation after flight with a saline solution (check out a netty pot) may help both soothe and battle infection.
