Will Suffering From Cold Cause Surgery To Take Adenoids Out To Be Cancelled?
my son is to have surgery on Monday. he is to have tubes put in his ears and his adenoid taken out. he is starting to get a cold....will this stop him from having surgery? or is it when children only have fevers, they won't do it then? i appreciate your input.

Yes, having common cold will have the surgery be cancelled. Common cold and airway hyperreactivity may interfere with oxygen delivery during anaesthesia. So it could have been cancelled.
