A member asked:

Scheduled for endoscopy tomorrow. can i still have it done if i am beginning to get a cold and sore throat? no fever, congestion or cough.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: During you endoscopy you will likely be monitored by the physician performing the procedure as well as the anesthesiologist who regulates your sedation. A common cold should not jeopardize the safety or diagnostic efficiency of the procedure.
