Doctors appointment re cough/cold and MTX

Just an update to let you know I saw doc this morning and I have a viral infection given me antibiotics for 5 days and told not to start MTX for 7 to 10 days. Rheumy nurse rang me back and confirmed the same, saying I should see GP to make sure there is no infection before starting MTX.

Thank you all for your help.

Thank you all for your replies, I hope I feel better soon, this cough is really pulling me down, ribs are so painful and my nose is like a tap. Think I am in for a early night.
