I have a colonoscopy scheduled for this coming Tuesday. I began running a fever yesterday and currently it s 102. I just took a tepid bath, but it s still 102. What can I take that won t interfere with the colonoscopy prep? I know I can t take Metformin the morning of, but don t know if Ibuprophen is permitted or something else. Thank you.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You should go for complete blood count to search the cause of fever. If it is due to malaria or typhoid then colonoscopy should be postponed. If it is of simple fever then you can take paracetamol to control fever. No, any oral tablets should be taken in the morning of colonoscopy day. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
