Freaking out--got sinus stuff 2 days before surgery!

[dixiejuju 15]

I have sinus drainage 2 days before surgery! It is making my throat scratchy and my head hurt. Do u think they will reschedule my surgery?????

No if it's not bad. They will give u one dose of an antibiotic during surgery anyway to cover you. I am an RN so I am speaking from experience. If its not really green what's coming out of you don't worry.

It's def not green thank goodness. I have been taking 2 kinds of mucinex and zinc as well as using a neti pot. Tomorrow is full liquids since surgery is Tuesday. I can keep taking my medicine up until midnight right??

Funny.... I had the same exact problem, and the same exact concern. Told my nurse and Doctor. No one was concerned and surgery went as scheduled.

Good luck!
