Please help! Pre-op Antibiotics question

Hi everyone. I was wondering how long before surgery should you stop taking any anti-biotics. I am scheduled for the DS this friday (2/18) and have just started anti-biotics yesterday. I didn't think I would need them, I had a cold about three weeks ago but the sore throat is still hanging around, no other symptoms. So the "walk-in" put me on antibiotics (because it was the weekend my PCP wasn't in) and my surgeons office staff's message said they won't be answering the phone this week and to leave messages, please help!!! Thanks for any information.
