A member asked:
I have a colonoscopy tomorrow, ive been fighting off a cold all week and now i have a very hoarse voice and a cough but i have no congestion. will i be ok to still get procedure?

Can check with Dr.: A patient with coughing can call his gastroenterologist who will be doing the colonoscopy to see if the procedure needs to be postponed. The decision probably depends on the doctor, the patient's situation that is requiring a colonoscopy, and the amount of coughing.
