Help Please

I tried contacting my surgeon and my nurse and neither have gotten back to me. I have a cold and I can't have herbs or NSAIDS now.... My surgery is Monday and I have to get rid of this.... what are we allowed to do for it? Cyndi

I always use Airborne, and it's just vitamins. I think that would be ok. You can use it every 3 hours I think. It's great.

Can you try Cold-Eeze or Zicam? ~Jen

I would go with the airborne as well. When my surgeons office found out I had a cold 2 weeks ago, there were going to reschedule me, but I took airborne every three hours until it went away. I would suggest you don't tell them unless you are prepared to reschedule. Good luck, and I hope you feel better!

Cyndi I dont have any advice for you but wanted to send you a big (((((HUG)))) and the Good luck fairy Did you try airborne? I hope it worked. Let us know. Kay 7 days til surgery

Cyndi - Can you use any tylonol products? I know my dr. told me that I could use any of their line, including tylonol cold after the surgery but to be honest I can not remember what they said before the surgery. Try to get a lot of sleep and take your vitamins, that will help signifigantly. Let us know what your doc says! Hugs, Beth

Thank you everyone. Surgeon said no about the Airborne, too many herbs!! No herbs before or after surgery. Since it was a sinus infection he said yes to Sudafed and to getting an antibiotic. My primary couldn't see me Friday, so not antibiotics... Been using Sudafed, saline drops in the nose, non red cough drops, non red chloreseptic and lots of hot fluids and hot showers... I don't want this post poned!!! ::hugs:: Cyndi
