Cold symptoms 4 days before surgery, will I be able to have surgery?

LA007
My TT surgery is on Friday and I have cold symptoms today (Mon). My PS office called in ZPak which I started today. Should I go in for the surgery? I have a mild headache, a mild cough & a mild irritation in my nose and throat. My drs office said if I don't have a fever or redness in my throat, I will be able to get my surgery this Friday, what is the general consensus? TIA.
