Cirrhosis of the liver and a cold, what do you advise?

Genlte approach: Tips: sore throat – gargle with warm salt water (1/2 tsp salt in 8 oz of water). Get strep test/culture if very sore. Congestion – saline nose drops or netti pot. For anti-inflammatory effect ; mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup. Hydrate- lots of water/clear broth/ add honey ; a small amt. Of lemon juice to chamomile tea. Rest!

Be more specific : Your question is not very specific. Patients with cirrhosis are just as susceptible to the common cold as patients without cirrhosis and are not at any greater risk. In my practice I do not see higher incidence. Any patient with cirrhosis attempting to treat symptoms of a cold must ensure they speak to their doctor about safety of common OTC medications, especially those containing Tylenol (acetaminophen)
