A member asked:

My daughter is getting her tonsillitis removed on tuesday. but now she come down with a cold. she coughing and has runny nose can she continue with op?

Time to call in: I would call the surgeon's office during regular hours at your earliest convenience. Since this is an elective (needed) surgery it is unlikely the anesthesiologist would put her to sleep with a upper respiratory infection. At least discuss it before you show up for surgery.
