Is it bad that i've been taking airborne for almost 2 weeks now and i have a major surgery tomorrow where i'm getting put out?

Discuss: Discuss your current symptoms with your surgeon and anesthesiologist. In adults minor respiratory symptoms have no or minimal effect on recovery. If you have fever, productive cough, chills it can result in delaying the surgery.
