Have a lap surgery in one week but for 3 days have dry cough off and on, congestion feeling in chest. could this be from seasonal allergies?

Possibly: It's best to be sure as having anesthesia and surgery when there is active infection or even significant congestion of nose,sinuses or bronchial tubes is not recommended. See your physician for a preoperative examination and abide by his or her advice.
