Is it safe to take Airborne tablets before surgery?

November 14, 2013
Asked By:jaytothegee

I have been taking airborne 3x a day and pre-op nurse said it was okay to take right up until surgery day. However, I just read a bunch of literature about stopping 14 days before surgery. My surgery is in 8 days. I only had one airborne tablet today. Is there anything I can do at this point? Can I help it exit my system?

Keep the area clean and try not touching it over the next week. If enough time passes and the area does not improve and seems to be getting worse, you can...
