When you get a bad cold with cough... | Arthritis Information

Do you go see a doc right away in fear of an infection?

I'm trying to figure out if what I have is simply a cold but I have a nasty
cough...Just can't decide.

ThanksWell know I do at first when I would get sick the meds that you take I would stop taking the metho and the enbrel and call the doc.  See you dont want to do what I did put it off and wound up in the hospital with a really bad case of pnemonia.  Call the doc i the morning.On, Enbrel, a biologic that suppresses your immune system to treat your RA?

Check in with your doctor immediately. The smallest cold can turn into a severe chest infection or pneumonia when you are on a biologic. 

Doctor. ASAP.

I am surprised that your doctors have not already mentioned this to you. That if you get any infection, you need to be very careful and check in with them.

I go as soon as it hits my chest and request shot of penecillin.  Otherwise it will inevitably turn to pneumonia.
