I am so nervous about everything leading up to the surgery but now I am worried about getting a cold on top of everything else. I baby sat my nephew this weekend and my sister neglected to tell me that he had a cold. I didn't realize until he woke up from his nap and it was too late. Now I am not feeling well. My surgery is in a week and I am freaking out that it will be cancelled if I am sick. Does anyone know any good tips for how to fight off a cold quickly?

zinc is best for colds,

Still coming off my cold.. I have the worst cough. My doc said it’s nothing to worry about but it deff worried me because my surgery is 5/14 and I can’t stop getting these weird pinch/tickle in the back of my throat that makes my eyes watery and throws me into a full blown coughing attack. Imagine this while being out of surgery? I’ll prob rip all my stitches and not to mention the pain of coughing while being so sore. I been taking immune plus EmergenC idk if it has helped but it’s deff good for the immune system. I’ve heard Zicam is really good.. don’t know if I spelled it right. Has great reviews on Amazon

Yeah a lot of good press about Zicam. Also look,into osciilium, you can get it at health food stores and WalMart, it helped me before.
