LunarScorpio 3 Posted January 14, 2012 My doctor gave me the O.K. to take Tylenol products when I got sick about a week after I had my surgery. You should call your surgeon to double check if they didn't give you paperwork telling you what meds you can take and ones you should avoid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cocoabean 430 Posted January 14, 2012 Most surgeon's say no NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or aspirin. Otherwise, I've not heard a problem with cold medicines. You can always give your surgeon a call to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
