Problem: Article: If your partner is a woman, there are certain tests she should get on a regular basis. If your partner is a man, he should be screened for certain STIs. These tests can tell you if you or your partner have an STI, allowing you to take proper precautions and to seek treatment. This is especially important because, as mentioned above, many STIs do not cause obvious symptoms. These guidelines are just that a guide. You should discuss all testing and risk factors with your healthcare provider, and they will help you adjust screening accordingly. Make sure your partner is also tested and treated accordingly. Men who have sex with men should be tested at least yearly, if not more frequently. Having multiple sex partners puts you at an increased risk for STIs. Men who have multiple and/or anonymous partners should be tested more frequently.
Summary: Make sure that you and your partner are following the recommended screening guidelines for STIs. Get tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at least once in your life between 13 64 years of age. Get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia yearly if you are under 25 years old, or if you have new or multiple sex partners. Get tested for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia yearly if you are a man who has sex of any kind with other men.

Problem: Article: A little sleep along the way can do wonders for how you look and feel at the other end. Do your best to include some snooze while you're traveling, or take the time to rest. If you find you can't sleep, put an eye mask on and meditate or simply relax. It's important to stay hydrated when traveling, especially if you are on a plane. Drink at least one glass of water per hour to help you feel better and look more refreshed. Add mint or fruit to your water for flavor if you desire. Limit your alcohol when traveling. Stick to one drink, such as a glass of wine. It's often easier to grab fast food while traveling or to pack your carry-on with junk food. Neither of these things will help you look or feel your best though, so avoid the temptation. Instead, prepare a healthy meal or snack for the trip. Consider: Sandwiches or wraps with your favorite filling Fruit that travels well, such as apples, oranges, and bananas Nuts and seeds or trail mix A small salad in a container Carrot and celery sticks Brush your teeth, chew mint gum, or pop a breath mint to freshen your breath. You can also reapply deodorant and spritz yourself with perfume or cologne. Carry a small spray bottle filled with water and a couple of drops of lavender oil. Spritz it onto your face to freshen skin.
Summary: Sleep on the plane or in the car. Stay hydrated. Eat a healthy meal or snack. Freshen up before you arrive.

Problem: Article: Some symptoms of a cold should be addressed, and treated, individually. While the general natural treatments will help, there are other things you can do to alleviate individual symptoms. Symptoms of the common cold can include: Nasal dryness or irritation is often the first symptom. Sore throat or an irritated, itchy throat is another common first symptom. Nasal discharge, nasal congestion, and sneezing. These usually get worse over the next 2-3 days after the first symptoms. The nasal discharge is usually clear and watery. It may become thicker and greenish-yellow. Headache or body aches. Watery eyes. Facial and ear pressure from congested sinuses. Loss of sense of smell and taste. Cough and/or hoarseness. A low-grade fever may occur, usually in infants and preschool children. For stuffy nose, put a couple drops eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree oil in a bowl of boiling water. Put your face over it (not too close don't burn yourself on the steam!) and cover with towel to inhale steam. You can also put these oils right into your bathwater. You can use natural cough drops or throat sprays, which will help to moisturize your throat and ease discomfort. If you have a dry cough, milk will moisturize your throat and help you feel better. If you have a productive cough (with phlegm coming up) milk will increase the problem. If you are concerned about strep throat, a cough indicates that you do not have strep. For a general sore throat, gargle with warm salt water to kill bacteria. You can add one drop of tea tree oil to a warm salt water gargle, if available. This will help to kill bacteria in the throat. The common cold can be complicated by ear infections (otitis media), sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), chronic bronchitis (lung inflammation with congestion and coughing) and worsening of asthma symptoms. If you have a combination of illnesses, it may be best to consult with a doctor to get the treatment you need.
Summary:
Treat individual symptoms. Treat sinus congestion. Treat a cough. Treat a sore throat. Treat additional illnesses that could exacerbate your cold symptoms.
