My husband was not given any water and food before general anesthesia for 30 hours, which seems too long. He was not attended during the waiting period for the operation, and there was no explanation or opportunity to see the doctor or anesthetist. What are the typical fasting guidelines before surgery, and is intravenous fluid therapy administered during the operation?

I have a cough and my lungs feel heavy with fluid. I've had a sore throat for about a week, which has worsened with the cough starting yesterday. I also experience tightness in my upper chest and use Advil for headaches and cough drops for my throat. I'm 30 years old and allergic to penicillin and amoxicillin. Should I go to the hospital, or will it clear up on its own?
