Hey all!!
I was diagnosed with moderate to severe Crohn's disease in 2013. So i am fairly new to the "flu season" issues. My GI told me to let him know when I was sick for a week or so.
This morning I emailed his office telling them I have been sick for a week with a cold. No fever, but my biggest complaint is a very bad sore throat. stuffy nose, and exhaustion. His office assisant (no idea what shes talking about, told me to talk to my PCP)
My question is:
Should I be tested for strep? or let it ride out?
I'm on Imuran and Cimzia
