Most post-colonoscopy discomfort resolves within a day or two. However, if you experience severe or persistent pain, fever, chills, heavy bleeding, or other concerning symptoms, it's important to contact your healthcare provider promptly, as these could indicate complications that require further evaluation and treatment.
