Can Coughing Cause Any Problem For Anesthesia During Dental Work?
My daughter is 3 1/2 years old. She is schedule to have dental work under general anesthesia next Tuesday. However she has had a very congested nose for the past 2 weeks and it is not getting any better, besides she coughs now and then. Will this put her at risk during general anesthesia?

Hello!Welcome to HCM.
General anesthesia is not recommended when she is suffering cough.
Call your dentist to reschedule your appointment.
You did not mention what dental treatment she must take.You can consider the treatment under local anesthesia if the procedure is minor and she is co-operative.
Regards.
