Good evening all
I’ve come down with a cold/sore throat/headache and wondered if there were any remedies to help as aware most over the counter cold/flu products can’t be used while having chemo? I haven’t got a temperature and don’t feel awful but would really like to nip it in the bud as due chemo on Thursday (not looking hopeful unless bloods Monday say otherwise)
Thanks in advance
As you are on treatment you could call your chemo helpline and get their advice.
If you have no chemo helpline call NHS 111
I found going to see my local pharmacist to be helpful.
