A member asked:
Can you still get a colonoscopy if you have a cold? or should you re-schedule it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on severity: Depends on severity: if very bad with hacking cough or fever, reschedule. If at end of cold or minimal symptoms, it is ok to proceed: check with MD's office if still not sure.
