Hi,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic Forum,
It is not appropriate to get a surgery done when you are having respiratory tract infection. AS this is not an urgent procedure you can get it done once your flu subsides. Even anaesthesiologist might refuse to give anaesthesia.
Take care

Regards

Dr. Naveen Kumar
