phatfatgirl 100 Posted November 11, 2015 Talk to your doctor before taking anything. You don't want anything that will change your blood work ups, thin you blood or interact badly with your anesthesia. I had a horrible cold right before my surgery and I was told to take Tylenol cold and flu right up to midnight the night before. I didn't have a fever so surgery was on. I was also on my period. That's usually the other common ailment. Period will be me also! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phatfatgirl 100 Posted November 11, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Victoria Mora 40 Posted November 12, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
