For all of the merriment that holidays bring the combination of stress, being packed in close quarters, the germy nature of air travel, lack of exercise can mean it’s also a prime time to be attacked by a cold. Of course, it couldn’t be a worse time to feel under the weather. To avoid being the red nose reindeer in your family photos it’s important to take a few steps to remain healthy during the hectic holidays.
Tips To Stay Healthy During Holiday Travel
- Get plenty of rest. This one can be laughable during the hectic times of the holidays but try to get at least six hours a night and take rest during flights of in the passenger’s seat. A long winter’s nap never hurt anyone either.
- Pack an anti-bacterial. The backseat pocket and the tray table can be two of the germiest places on a plan. A quick once over with antibacterial wipes can greatly reduce a number of germs. Hand sanitizer also works well to combat germy places like public doors, light switches and restaurant menus.
- Stay aware of what’s “going around” with the Cold & Flu Tracker to check outbreaks and symptoms in your area.
- Find ways to deal with stress. As much as we love our family, all of this “togetherness” (and sharing your childhood room with your sister again) can be a point of stress. Take some time for yourself each day. A long shower to unwind or a few minutes with a good book.
- Eat a healthy breakfast. During the holidays we typically plan our days around the big meals we share with family and then we tend to over indulge. Instead, make sure to eat a healthy and filling breakfast. You will be less likely to over eat and y keep your sugar levels from plummeting.
Sometimes, even with the best of care it’s possible to catch a cold during the holidays. Keep your travel bag stocked with a few essentials to help provide some relief so you can power through the season. Chloraseptic® is the No. 1 pharmacist-recommended sore throat relief brand* for the whole family. Plus, their Chloraseptic® Sore Throat Lozenges are TSA friendly. They have this awesome liquid center to cute that itchy, scratchy sore throat.

We always have a bottle in our cabinet. It is SO helpful for those times when you are getting sick
We’ve been sick nonstop lately! We spent Thanksgiving at home with strep throat! I needed some of that Chloraseptic Sore Throat spray!
I’ve never heard of the Warming spray by Chloraseptic. I’ll have to add this to my shopping cart for our cold season. We have an unending supply of hand sanitizer and kleenex!
I like the line of Chloraseptic products. They work well and I like to keep some on hand for when one of us gets a sore throat.
Chloraseptic is my go-to whenever anyone at my house has a sore throat. I love the instant relief it provides!
Chloraseptic has been a BFF since I was a kid. It’s my go-to when I get the scratch sore throat. I am glad to see they have warming and new flavors.
Traveling is a lot of fun, but traveling when you’re sick is not fun. Thanks for sharing these great tips.
I’ve used the spray quite a bit as a kid. I was always getting strep throat!
I love Chloraseptic. It has always helped my sore throat.
It’s great to have good medications on hand for when the little ones get sick….and the not so little ones
I like keeping the Chloraseptic® Sore Throat spray on hand just in case one of us comes down sick.
I think I’ve chugged a gallon of Chloraseptic this week. I picked up a nasty cold over the holidays and have all but lost my voice. Thankfully, the Chloraseptic is making the illness more manageable!
The warming stuff looks awesome. I love this stuff when I’m sick, I’m such a baby but when I get sick I get hit hard!
That throat spray really does the trick. It works instantly too. I love it!
We’ve used the Chloraseptic throat spray for years. It really works for sore throats!
I have been using Chloraseptic for years. It is a brand I trust for sure.
I always have Chloraseptic® Sore Throat Lozenges in my purse and at my desk during the winter months! It’s cold and flu season! and in New York, especially on public transportation everyone is coughing and sneezing. :)
We STOCK UP on this stuff during the winter months. We don’t have time to get sick around here!
I got so sick one of the years when we were in Disney and it was tough to be that sick when I was away from home.
Great tips, my daughter is traveling to see me with her 3 month old. I am already thinking about her being prepared.
