Question Help...I have a cold pre-op...
permalink
I hoping someone knows if it is okay to take Tylenol Cold, Halls and possibly a antibiotic pre-op? I just started my liquid diet and I am 2 wks pre-op.

Has anyone been rescheduled because of a cold?

Thanks for the help!

Hi Joy - I think we are in the same boat. I have a little over a week. I am hoping when I go to Pre-Op on Tuesday that they don't reschedule me. I hope you get to feeling better. :-)

I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow and I have been taking over the counter medicine without aspirin in it and I sound worse than I feel. I was told that the anesthesiologist tomorrow will tell me if I have to reschedule because of the cold I have. Good luck!!

Good Luck on your Surgery tomorrow. I pray you don't get rescheduled....I know how sucky that would be.

Did you ask your surgeon or nurse if you could take OTC drugs for your cold?

Your best bet is to call your surgeon's office and let them know what's going on, and ask THEM your questions. I can't remember who it was, but someone on these boards said that their surgery was postponed due to her having a cold on the day of surgery. So, CALL THEM ASAP!

I had a cold the day of my surgery 3/24 they did not reschedule but I did have some breathing difficulty during my surgery. the anesthesiologist said I had bronchial spasms. I had to have some breathing treatments post op. And Also it hurt like hell to cough and sneeze.

That hurts to even think about. Having a cold right after surgery.....I sneezed the day after surgery, and HOLY COW. Good times.
