    Hi Girls,

    I have 4 days left before surgery & I can feel a cold coming on, I’m now panicking & really stressed.

    I’m taking vitamin c, echinacea & drinking green tea & honey. Is there anything else I can be doing to knock this cold on the head? I have a cough, tickley throat, snotty nose and my eyes are starting to run 🙁

    I’m so excited for my surgery & have no nerves…yet, but I’m absolutely gutted this is now happening. Any suggestions greatly appreciated xx

    Have you tried Vicks first defence nasal spray? I swear by that stuff. Soon as you feel a cold coming on you spray 2 sprays each nostril every 3-4 hours and mine went within a day or two! It’s about £6 but its worth it xxx

    Yes I agree get the vicks first defense nasal spray. I used it in the weeks leading up to surgery when I felt a bit of a sniffle coming on. Xx
