Migraines are often unexpected, unavoidable––and certainly have the potential to ruin a holiday.
If you’re someone who experiences migraines and you have a winter vacation planned, here are a few tips to get you ready to enjoy your trip, even if a migraine strikes:
• Pack snacks! If you know that a skipped meal can trigger a migraine, be sure to keep granola bars or dried fruit in your carry-on, so it’s easy to eat on-the-go.
• Drink water. Make sure you’re hydrated before you go, and have a water bottle handy as you travel.
• Slow down. Be sure not to overload yourself in the days before you go, to reduce some of the stress of travelling.

For more helpful ideas, read this blog post from a frequent flyer who has been there:

You should feel better in one to two weeks. In the meantime, there are a number of nasal drops and sprays, mild pain relievers and cough and cold medications that might help with your symptoms.
Ask our pharmacist about over-the-counter options that may be right for you.

It’s not uncommon to have hands that are dry, itchy, red, tight feeling and even cracked – especially during the winter months. Frequent hand washing combined with freezing temperatures outside can spell disaster for sensitive skin.

Using a mild cleanser, gently patting your hands dry – and, most importantly – moisturizing, are all key steps you can take to get some relief. Our pharmacist can recommend soothing hand lotions, balms and creams that can help protect your skin.
