So you are half way through a multi day walk and you wake up with that feeling. Your throat is starting to swell, swallowing is painful, and your nose is glued shut with thick green snot. You still have multiple days walking ahead of you. What do you do? What is in your pack to fix this? What have you been doing to try and avoid this situation?

Colds or flu are density dependent and I get them because I am surrounded by infected people
I've never gotten any kind of respiratory illness /out/
I guess I would just have to tough it out

Gastrointestinal problems are real common though
I once talked to a wilderness rescue person and they said it was their number one reason for evacuating people
I try to bring some Imodium on long trips, make sure my cook-set is clean, and every once in a while I boil my spoon

>Imodium
I was talking to someone about how dangerous imodium can be. They got some sort of bug or parasite while out. They took imodium to stop them from crapping but end up incubating what ever it was and making it ten times. Will try and get more details off them as I have forgotten the key bits.

Checked
I've never had to use it, but brought it along in case of emergencies
I'll have to check my first aid kit to see if it is still there since it has probably expired
I think you aren't supposed to use it for over 48 hours, or if you have fever or bloody stools

Chew up raw garlic cloves.
