Sinus infection 10 days before surgery......is this really happening???? So frustrated! Anyone else get sick right before? Did it hold up your surgery?

I got sick right before surgery and went to my doctor and they gave me a zpak. I got some sudafed from the pharmacy and rested in bed for a few days. I wasn't perfect for surgery but I didn't have a fever and could breath well through my nose. Lol good luck!

I'm sick right now and my surgery is on Wednesday... I was told as long as I didn't have a fever and mucus drooling from my nose I'd be okay...they would assess the situation when I got there Wednesday morning. I've been taking Vitamin C and resting all weekend and am not congested at all...just a cough.

Well wishes for Wednesday!

I had a bad cold and kept in touch with both surgeons office and hospital. I didn't have a fever and my lungs were clear so it was a go. But I still had a bad cough and mucous...it made the first few days post op even tougher......coughing was very painful.

My surgery is this coming Friday, March 20. I woke up yesterday morning feeling like I was getting the flu. Went to Urgicare, flu test was negative but got 4 prescriptions to hopefully getting me feeling better in the next 5 days.

@@Christa2015 I am with you! Mine is Wednesday also...hope you get to feeling better!

I woke up with a sore throat and totally stopped up...I didn't want to take anything since I was supposed to be off everything except my blood pressure meds 10 days before surgery! I have been gargling salt Water and doing a sinus wash once a day. I finally called the surgeon's office and after two days got a call back and the nurse practitioner was beyond rude acting like I was dumb for even asking if I can take cold meds...I wanted to make sure before I got denied morning of surgery! I still haven't taken anything but do feel TONS better! Been putting vapor rub on my feet and chest and smelling essential oils...still not feeling daring enough to take any actual meds!!!

Good luck to everyone and hope you all get over the colds/sickness in time for surgery!!!
