especially with a cough! I had a head cold 2 weeks before Bali that lingered a bit but then i caught swine flu in Bali which put me on my back for 5 days and lasted for 9 days all up!
I am also guilty of lying on the health form but plenty are spreading the flu in Bali so be careful as your immune system may be a bit low because of the head cold!
We see no thermal imagine machines when we went in July and if they were there they didn't work as my plane was full of sick people coughing and sneezing.
You can buy panadol cold and flu tabs in any circle K they are around 5000RP per packet and a lot cheaper than at home,they contain 500mg paracetamol and 30mg of pseudoephedrine.
Be careful of the panadol extra as they contain quite a lot of caffine,they are in the red pack.
