Good morning, I have an operation planned on 22.01. I've had a cold since 5.01 and today, i.e. 12.01, I got a prescription for sumamed 500mg. Will taking an antibiotic disqualify me for surgery?

Upper respiratory tract infections and antibiotic therapy may be a contraindication to elective surgery. It may be necessary to postpone the procedure for 2-4 weeks, especially if the patient has not managed to fully heal. The condition for performing surgery under general anesthesia is - as far as possible - the best possible condition of the patient.
In case of any doubts, I encourage you to take advantage of a teleconsultation with an internist. The service is available on our website in the e-visit tab:
