I have a cold and a scheduled rhinoplasty in two days.. what do I do?

anajorgereis
Tuesday I got a cold, a week prior to my scheduled rhino. I have a stuffy nose and slightly sore throat. I went to my general physician, who said my breathing was normal. I'm taking paracetamol and an antihistaminic. My surgery is in two days and I'm not 100% yet. I still have a slightly stuffy nose and a cough. I did not have a fever, nor do I feel ill, with aches nor pains, and my physician still says my breathing is clear and normal. I'm scared to call my surgeon for he might say to postpone...
