I would see a doctor or contact your medical team if you feel it is going to impede your ability to have surgery. They should be able to help you. Today is Fri. so I would contact them today rather than wait. Better to be safe. Without knowing what the congestion is caused from, I don't feel comfortable recommending something. Hope you feel better in a jiff!

Call and find out what they recommend. I got a cold a week before surgery. I was put on prescriptions and then approved the day before surgery.

Call your surgeon ASAP and ask. Surgery normally isn't postponed unless there's fever, but you need to call and ask and be honest.

I was sneezing,wheezing and coughing some the day of surgery and they did not postpone. I did not have fever. But you definitely should check in with your doctors office and see what you can take according to their plan. I was told Tylenol based products only, no Advil, Motrin, etc. Something like Nyquil, or Tylenol cold/sinus, or even my claritin was ok..but each doctor has different procedures.
