If you run out of medication, you may need a prescription to purchase new ones, so it is crucial to carry an official prescription from your doctor.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you have enough rest and are comfortable. Pack the right clothes and dress in layers to help you adjust to the temperature. Get enough sleep, drink lots of water to stay hydrated, avoid foods that may exacerbate your symptoms, and try boosting your immune system with the right supplements.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your own benefit, try as much as possible to maintain a regular schedule for taking your medication.
