Is mile scoliosis bad?
Yes. For one, scoliosis is when your spine is set irregularly, and you would need an upper body brace to straiten out your spine. Mild scoliosis is even worse. It's when your spine is set in an even more crooked positioning, and you would need a upper body brace and wear it for a few weeks. If you have it, you should see a doctor.

What's Scoliosis?
From the Mayo Clinic (see related link): Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. While scoliosis can be caused by conditions and birth defects such as Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy and Spina Bifida (which I was born with), the cause of most scoliosis is unknown. Some with mild cases of Scoliosis are only monitored for progression while others may require bracing. In severe cases surgery may be required.
What to do for a cough caused from a breathing tube used during surgery?
I would leave it a few weeks. If not resolving, see your doctor. Its INCREDIBLY unlikely to be anything worse than a simple irritation of the tissues. Its one of the accepted risks of placing an endotracheal tube (the benefit being that you dont die of lack of oxygen during surgery)
What can be done for scoliosis?
Orthopedists -- the doctors who most often deal with scoliosis patients -- have three treatments. 1) Observation, which is not really a treatment but simply monitoring to see if it gets worse. 2) A body brace, a kind of stiff corset, usually prescribed for teens who are still growing, in the hope that it will slow or stop progression of abnormal spinal curves. 3) Spinal fusion surgery, generally indicated if the main curve progresses beyond 45-50 degrees. The purpose of surgery is to prevent further progression, or to relieve pain in adults. Orthopedists in the US and the UK do not usually believe that exercises or any intervention other than a brace or surgery will help a scoliosis patient. In Germany, however, orthopedists routinely refer patients to a Schroth clinic for physical therapy treatment. The Schroth method of scoliosis treatment has been standard practice there since the 1960s, and was developed in the 1920s. Because every case of scoliosis involves imbalances of strength, length, and thickness of spinal and other muscles, a Schroth therapist first diagnoses the individual patient's scoliosis and then designs a regime of exercises that will strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones. A chiropractor or conventional physical therapist may be able to relieve scoliosis pain symptoms temporarily, as can a massage therapist. But if the scoliosis patient's posture is not addressed and improved by exercise therapy, pain will persist and can increase later in life.
