I am 3 weeks post op and although the surgery went great, no complications- I keep getting sick. The week after surgery I had a sore throat.. I assiumed it was from the tube and ignored it (they gave antibiotics while in the hospital) On day 8 (from surgery) I went to urgent care b/c my throat looked like cottage cheese (gross, sorry). They said I had strep And put me on antibiotics. Completed those on day 15...then on 17 I started feeling like crud again, I have a cough and I can't catch my breath. I went to my PCP and I have bronchitis. More antibiotics. Anyone else's immune system suck post surgey?
