I'm not a doc

.so I don't know your other meds. My rheumy told me to leave the mtx if I had an infection ...so high temp etc. Viruses you can still take it.

Hope you feel better soon x

We're not medically qualified you must know so I can only share what I do but I would recommend if you're unable to ask a doctor that you speak to a Pharmacist.

I can only say for MTX as I don't take either levodropropizine or fexofenadine but I continue with MTX (20mg) if I have a simple cold (virus) but if it goes on my chest & I need antibiotics I halt it until the course is finished to give the best chance of an early recovery.

I hope you feel better soon & the Pharmacist is helpful.

Hi. I was advised that the only time to stop was if prescribed Antibiotics, but check which antibiotics you can be prescribed with MTX as some are a no, no. Please take care xxxx
