When should I call the doc | Arthritis Information

So I've been on Enbrel for almost a year and for the first time have a fever with slight sore throat.   It's generally low 100.0°F

 
 
I was going to call today, but my 7 yr old daughter is home puking sporadically
 
Thanks,
My RD told me to call right away.  I did get sick once on Enbrel and my GP started me on antibiotics right away - "to be safe" she said.  I also had to stop the Enbrel until I was better.  I hated that!A fever is a definite reason to call your Dr. right away. My doc told me a cold was no reason to stop Enbrel but any sign of an infection from it should be taken care of right away.My Doc said call once my fever hit 100.5.  Since you are close I would call.
