I'm not sure but I hope it works out for you. Being you were on antibiotics it should clear it up I would think. I would call the dr to ease my mind.

Have you tried Vitamin C? I take this regularly, guards against all that stuff going around. I take 500 mg 3-4 tablets in the winter, 1 in summer and 2 in spring and fall. Has helped me for years. The body takes what it needs and sheds the rest during the day. Just my suggestion.

I know two people who went in with a cold and still got operated on. As long as it's a "head cold" and there's no congestion in your lungs, I believe they will still do it. I had a cold about three weeks before my surgery and took one Mucinexa day for two days and mine went away. Also drank a TON of Water. Good luck!

I had surgery on 9/13 in Mexico. I was on the Z PAC for a sinus infection and I had a cough. They still performed the surgery. They gave me breathing treatments every 6 hours for the 2 days I was in the hospital. As long as you don't run a fever you should be fine. Get better and good luck.

I am feeling wonderful. Very tired but I'm back to work and expected. Cold is gone thank goodness. I'm down 40 lbs so far between pre-op diet for 2 weeks and surgery 2 weeks ago. So much more to go but I already feel the difference. Thanks for asking and I wish you all the best.
