Loads of folk seem to get ill when the weather changes here.

Mitigate by staying in your hotel room watching TV and ordering room service.

Take some sinus tablets?

It's blowy and shitty out there today and most people seem to get the cold / illness / blocked up when they come over and aren't used to AC + Dust maybe.

Can't take anything with pseudophedrine in it because I'm taking other stuff, and have also had irregular heartbeat issues.


Got some spray and paracetemol at the pharmacy on the Palm (fun getting there and back from the RARA site) and it's helped a bit. Woman from my company told me it's going to go on a few days though. Great. Suggested I get an air purifier.

I would suggest not worrying about all that humidifier / purifier guff. Just deal with it for a few days as part and parcel of the AC / Dust issue. You've landed at a shitty time by the looks of it out the window.

Spray will probably help though. Hopefully it clear up quickly :thumbup:

I grew up with hayfever in the summer back home. When I first came out here it was a relief not to be sneezing during the summer months or any months.

However in the past five years it's come back, all year round on and off. In the last two years it's also given me "coughing asthma" one a year (which is fun when you want a good nights sleep) and the doc spotted polyps around my sinuses at my last check up.

The air quality is abysmal now in this region from mass construction, industry, traffic, power generation plus the usual dust.

Try Claritine - that usually helps. And if you can, get allergy tested to see what the causes are so you can avoid it.

Get cetrizine, you only need one a day and it does work, it is NOT pseudoephedrine so shouldn't cause problems.
