My breast augmentation & rhinoplasty is 4 days away. I'm starting to feel a little sick with a sore throat, I know I'm supposed to quit certain meds for two weeks leading up to the surgery. The list I was given of meds to avoid doesn't show Amoxicillin, is that harmful before surgery? Last thing I want is to feel sick during my recovery.

Answer: Amoxicillin before surgery The medication is safe to take before surgery, but if you have any active infection, you should not have breast augmentation until it is fully cleared. If you are on antibiotics 4 days before surgery, your surgery will likely have to be rescheduled. Implants are a foreign body, and should not be placed during an active infection. The concern here is not you feeling sick during recovery, but rather if the operation should be done at all at this time. I see you posted this 4 days ago, so hopefully you disclosed this information to your surgeon before surgery. It is also difficult to have a cold if recovering from nasal surgery, and another reason it may be safer to reschedule.
