2 weeks ago I had a fever for 2 days but my stuffy nose never went away. I breath normally but every once in a while I still have to blow my nose. My surgeon told me not to take any antibiotics and I'm really nervous because i'm afraid my stuffy nose will affect the surgery or my recovery. I don't feel sick at all so do you think the surgery should/could be postponed? also, do you think I am at risk for capsular contraction because of my stuffy nose? Thank you all in advance for your help!
