I was sick as a dog when I had my surgery. My doctor gave me permission to take Tylenol cold right up until the morning of the surgery. Coughing SUCKED hairy balls afterwards, but the nurse was good with it because she said it cleared my lungs after anesthesia faster.

Call your doctor, give him/her a head's up and see what they say! As long as you don't have a fever, you should be fine. Oh! I was on the rag, too.

NO!! Do not buy Zicam or Airborne without explicit permission. They are natural supplements and the high zinc content could mess up your blood clotting or whatnot.

Thanxs for the heads up .... I just spoke to the coordinator she old me to take something with no acetaminophen in it nd that its just the body already changing from not hving everything it usually does nd she gave me the heads up to eat some blended chicken noodle or vegetable low fat Soup so hopefully that helps
