Have Chesty Cough And Difficulty In Swallowing. Safe To Go For Endoscopy?
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Cough itself is not an contraindication for endoscopy, however if it causes difficulty in breathing, than endoscopy should not be performed. So if your cough is really bad, it would be reasonable to reschedule your endoscopy and wait for your cough to subside.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
