Is Getting Oral Surgery Done While Having Cough Safe?

I am scheduled for oral surgery an complex extraction in a few days. I ve had a nagging cough for weeks, from a viral infection back in early December. Can I safely have oral surgery or could coughing cause a dry socket? I will be in twilight sedation

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
You can get the tooth extracted if you have cough, it is not an absolute contraindication for extraction. Take medications for cough and get the tooth removed. The dry socket occurs when the blood clot is dislodged so, the cough can create a negative pressure it might result in dis lodgement of the clot and result in dry socket. This can be prevented by placing a sutures after extracting tooth. Nothing to worry about cough. you can get the tooth removed.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
