Benepali sore throat

[Vonnie10]

Hi a bit of advice I took my second injection of benepali but I've noticed I have a bit of a sore throats and my ears a touch sore, my question is should I phone for 111 for a antibiotic with it Been the weekend the Rhem team are not available I will be devastated if they stop my treatment after been in a bad way for 5 months nearly I can't go back to that. It does say this is more severe if you read I'm just worried 😩

At least your blood are ok. That's one less worry for you. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm just getting ready to go to the airport! So really hoping I'm ok in the sun with Benepali - soon find out I guess!

Hi,

I know you've asked GP now but just thought I'd let you know that after every Benepali- injection I get a bit of a cold and sore ears. I came off it and mtx for three weeks because my blood count was so low. I'm back on benepali- now- but not mtx yet. I don't think it's uncommon to get this. I have my bloods done every two weeks. I hope you feel better soon x

Hi, oncall gp recommended I get a blood test due to me been new 2weeks in on benepali, I can't tolerate mtx, maybe this is how it's is for me like you sore throats and ears, all my bloods were fine, will give the team a call and see what they say, thankyou so much for the info, I'm new to it all we live and learn.
