When you have general anesthesia surgery for a cold, most patients may be fine and a small percentage of patients may be fine. When you have a cold, if it is not an emergency surgery, it is recommended to wait until the cold is cured before performing the surgery. A cold is an infection of the upper respiratory tract and requires intubation during general anesthesia surgery. The tracheal tube is inserted from the nasal or oral cavity into the body’s trachea, and there is a retrograde process. Surgical tracheal intubation is a catheter or mask for the trachea may bring viruses from the upper respiratory tract to the lower respiratory tract, causing lung infections, such as fever and cough. If not, it means that you are more fortunate and there are no other problems. If surgery was done, it may be treated with antibiotics during or after the surgery.
