Geez... the drama never ends! Finally after 11 months into this process and a surgery date of Nov 16th i come down with a stinking, freaking cold!! I called my surgeons office to find out of there is anything over the counter i can take and was told me having a cold will be put into my file. My surgery can be cancelled and it's up to the discretion of the anesthesiologist. Smh. I have 5 days to get over this. Any tips? lol I'm looking for a miracle! ????????????

Using saline spray (non-medicated, regular saline spray) every couple hours will help you to kick the cold much faster. No one likes squirting the salt Water up their nose, but it really will clear things out for you ASAP (I worked for Ear Nose and Throat docs for 8 years, so believe that I know what I'm talking about). That, and drink a TON of water. Stay super hydrated. Eat spicy foods, super hot soup, tea, etc. Take a hot shower or bath. Sweat that baby out. Good luck!

PS - I felt a cold coming on yesterday, started the saline regimen and am already on the mend.

I will be trying this also! Thanks for the suggestion.

Lots and lots of fluids!

I'm gong to do as much as i can! Thanks

I spoke to my surgeons nurse, she said i can take anything necessary as long as it doesn't have aspirin in it. Soooo I'm a looking. And I'm due my period so i shall be on that also. ????

Wasabi will clear your nose fast. I can't eat sushmi without it , love the way it hits you right in the nose and you sniff and blow your nose then your nose is so clear.
