Cold before surgery

[sumochik 22]

It's a few days before my surgery and I have a slight cold. No fever or sniffles but I sound sick. Is it true that as long as I don't have a fever I'm good to go?

If your lungs are clear and no fever you should be OK! Push fluids and take Vit C if allowed!

Call your surgeon's office . He/she is the ONLY person to advise you on this.

You haven't come this far in the process to stop being smart now.

Give them a call. All will be well.

Keep posting and let us know how you're feeling.

Feel better, friend.

I had a cold the week before my surgery & I just pushed fluids & Vitamin c with zinc like crazy!! It cleared up a couple days before surgery so I was good to go, but I really feel like it made my recovery a tiny bit harder because I was so run down.
