Will my vp shunt be safe i have a cold and keep sneezing and coughing will the pressure of that harm my shunt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be okay!: Changes in intracranial pressure with cough or sneeze are BRIEF and TEMPORARY. Your shunt should drain normally. I see no reason for you to be concerned!!
