A member asked:

I have gynecomastia surgery tomorrow, and i was around my friend who had a cough and sniffle yesterday.. i feel a tickle in my throat today, will they cancel my surgery if it turns out i catch it?

Maybe,maybe not: It often takes several days for these illnesses to set in.Unless it caused significant irritation to your airway before the procedure, there would not be a real reason for delay.You might call the office to share your concerns with the staff and let them help you.
