I've caught a cold – 10 days till op!

I’ve stopped taking my vitamins and have come down with a horrible cold! I’ve got 10 days to get rid of it. Any tips that don’t involve drugs or herbal supplements? If they cancel my op due to the sniffles I’ll be gutted!

my nan always says to ‘sweat it out’ wrap up in blankets haha, it always works for meee! xxx

Thanks Steff, I’ll give it a go! X

I caught a cold about 10 days before my op! Rest a lot and drink lots of water to flush it out. xx

Hey Lisa, I got a cold like 6 days before the op! Completely freaked out… It’s 2 days until my op now and bit sniffy. Drinking LOTS of water and orange/grapefruit juice, honey and lemon, just flushing it out. Not taking any meds as obis we can’t, so relying on my body’s strength. Fingers crossed we both will be okay xx

I had bit of a cold, nothing bad, I had my op still x

I heard eating things with onions and garlic in helps. Hope you get better soon.

Hope you feel better soon Jessica xx. Thanks for the replies ladies, I’m drinking water like crazy and have picked up some smoothies and am sat with fleecy pjs and a dressing gown on! Toasty!

I’ve read an article about onions, cut a fresh one up in half and put it near your bed over night. Apparently it attracts all the nasty cold viruses.. But a week should be enough to get better. Sleep a lot, it usually helps me:)
Good luck with the op!
