Will Having Mild Cold And Congestion Effect Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hi. I am scheduled for total hip replacement surgery in 8 days. I am just getting over a mild cold with small amounts of phlegm discharge. Will that affect the scheduling of my procedure? I am a 62 yr. old male in fairly good physical condition and have no fever or chills.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Usually the cold and congestion postpone the surgery within two weeks.
I suggest to consult your surgeon for a physical examination and evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
