Cold and sore throat

[Carolsos]

Hi guys, I have been on benepali for 5 weeks and I think it's working, I still have to take some codiene and naproxen but not as much as before. I caught a cold from my granddaughter last Thursday with a sore throat, sneezing and now developed a cough every now and then. Do you know if I can carry on taking my injection with this cold is it worth ringing up my rumey nurse? Just any thoughts on this please. Take care.

I’ve not been told to stop Benepali when I’ve had a cold, only for infections and taking antibiotics but do check with your rheumy team as it may be different for you.
