What could happen if I get lip filler when I could have glandular fever?

Asked By:jasminecproud94 in England, United Kingdom

I'm due to have lip fillers next Saturday (Juvederm) but i have been unwell for the past 2 weeks with my throat suspected tonsillitis and suffering with my sinuses due to my hay fever allergies. I was given antibiotics for my throat and is using a steroid spray for my nose but i am still feeling unwell. It could now possibly be glandular fever, if so would i still be able to attend my appointment or would it not be wise to have fillers done at this time? What could happen if i did. Thanks.
