I'm starting to get a cold and I'm scheduled for a TT in 2 weeks. Can I take DayQuil or mucinex?

Question

Is there any medication I can take for my cold??

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

I am sorry to hear about your concerns prior to your day of surgery. Generally speaking, patients undergoing elective surgery should be at their optimal (or close to) level of health prior to proceeding. It is especially important that there be no compromise of pulmonary function or active source of infection present.
Your plastic surgeon will be the only relevant resource when it comes to determining what medications you are able to take and your ability to proceed at this time.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. There are no contraindications, from a surgical standpoint, to taking either of these medications 2 weeks prior to your surgery. I would still recommend to call your Plastic Surgeon for final confirmation.Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

Thank you for your question. Actually you need to be in good health for your anesthesia and surgery. You can take meds to help you to get back to normal, But I will suggest to clarify with your surgeon.
