A member asked:
Hi i'm getting a hernia operation on friday and just want to know if they can still do operation as i have a small cold & chest injection?

Probably: The "common cold" should not prevent you from having surgery unless you have baseline lung problems or you are running a fever. However, be sure to tell your surgeon and anesthesiologist about this before surgery. Good luck!
