Yes: Root canal treatment can be perfomed while pt has common cold. If having any sinus issues, rct could clear the problem.

"Sick": If common cold, just inform your treating General Dentist or specialist Endodontist ahead of time. If Covid, however, you may have to isolate. So check in with your MD/DO General Practitioner first, then inform your DDS/DMD of the medical findings.
