A member asked:
I have a transnasal gastroscopy in a couple weeks. i woke up today with two huge cold sores. i think i should be good by october 17th and at least be at the end stage of the cold sores. should i reschedule the endoscopy or just wait to see thanks?

You should wait until it is closer to the procedure and see if the cold sores are better. If they are small and not causing you discomfort, it is ok to go ahead with the procedure. Good luck!
