Hi guys
I hope you are all as well as possible.
Just a quick question about cold sores. I’ve got 5 in total at the moment and I can’t seem to get rid of them. I’ve got cold sore cream which I’ve been rubbing on for the past week but I woke up this morning and they’re more painful than ever. I used to take echinacea for cold sores, it got rid of them so quickly, but I’m not sure if it’s ok to take it if I’m on DMARDs?
Thanks

Not what you want before Christmas. I hope you can get some relief quickly christmas05
If you are still taking the meds then no wonder the cold sores are having a field day. I am not a doc but I do have a few years' experience under my belt and I would be contacting my rheumatology department and seeking their advice. I have never had a cold sore but I think they should know that this is going on. I hope things improve soon, please let us know how you get on. DD

I think I am right in feeling that you are still relatively new to all this, WP, and I hope you will seek trained advice sooner rather than later. DD
