    Help!! I am having my op on Tuesday and its already been delayed once. Today I started with a cold sore. I get them often but haven’t had one for about 6 months. It isn’t big compared to others I have had and I started zovirax cream immediately and I am not run down or feeling ill in any other way. Does anyone have experience of this and know whether my op is likely to be delayed again?

    I used to get them really bad all the time and not had one for ages sods law i get one and been really careful. Luckily its not the biggest ive had but thank god it doesn’t affect the procedure date.

    Tip for you crush an ibuprofen with a tiny bit of water and make a paste apply it to the cold sore overnight and it takes down the swelling and helps the pain but also dries it out quicker.
