ERCP related to catching a cold?

[mahul]

I had a ERCP done recently. This is my 3rd one. Last time the doctor had given thru IV anitbiotics. This time i had the ERCP done at a diff hospital and the doc says anitbiotics are not required.

I developed a Cold after the ERCP. Although it is summer i am not quite sure how this would be related. I never had any symptoms before the ERCP. THe very next day after my ERCP i started to feel like i had low grade temp and now 3 days later i have a bad cold.

Wonder if this is related in any way?  Has anyone experienced this?

I agree with CalGal - it is not likely that your ERCP had anything to do with getting a cold, just coincidence and bad luck unfortunately.

Colds are due to viruses. Antibiotics do not work on viruses.

You should probably give the doc a call if you're still running a fever - just to let him know what's going on.
