I would suggest you : Notify your GI doctor as he will probably want to reschedule the colonoscopy. If it is elective, than there is no reason to take a chance if you have an infection and better to get over your cold and reschedule the procedure for a future date. You don't want to go thru the prep and show up sick on the day of the procedure and have them cancel it then.
