Keflex before and after rhino?

User Avatar

I have a history of c.diff and have been prescribed 500 mg 3x a day of keflex (cephalexin) to take starting the day prior to my surgery. I am having a primary rhinoplasty, a revision septoplasty and a tip graft using septum. I am very wary of taking the antibiotics but am also concerned the surgeon will not proceed if I do not. I was also given sodium fusidate ointment 2% to use topically prior to surgery. I have expressed my concerns over c.diff to my surgeon. What is your advise?
