Could having the flu virus weeks out from a rhinoplasty postpone surgery?

I’ve had the flu since 3/5 (today is 3/7). I’ve had a steady fever since then. I’m at 100.8 now. I’m hoping that this will pass without any major complications. Can the flu virus three weeks out postpone a surgery? If I end up going to the ER I assume my surgeon needs to know. My rhinoplasty is 3/27.
