Surgery in 2 weeks and I am sick!!!!
I'm sorry you're feeling bad. In most cases, I'd say that whatever you had would most likely be gone by the time you have surgery in 2 weeks time. But if you actually have a sinus infection, they tend to be difficult to treat, and slow to clear up.
I'd call the surgeon's office and ask about the infection. Some docs will operate on anybody who doesn't have a fever over 101, but not all. You wouldn't want to spread the infection to your lungs.

If you are having sinus problems, may I suggest you have the doc do a swab checking for MRSA staph infection. This type of staph is running rampant in our part of the country and it takes two weeks of treatment to clear a colonization. I too had what I thought was a sinus infection, but turns out it was MRSA. The colonization shows up in the sinuses first. I showed positive before surgery and underwent the treatments for removal. The staph infection is only cleared up with one specialized type of antibiotic. Most antibiotics will not even touch it. While it is a very serious infection, there is treatment and in most cases can be cleared up with early treatment.. The infection is spread by sneezing, caughing and contact with someone else who has it.
Don't want to scare you, but you want to be in good health before your operation. Worth checking out.
