A member asked:
Daughter on methotrexate and my son has bronchitis and croup. dr says he is contagious so should i find someone to keep my daughter overnight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Viral infection: Difficult to answer and very complicated. She has probably already been exposed. Methotrexate effects primarily neutophils which are seldom involved in fighting viral infections, which cause bronchitis and croup, unless this is pertussis (whooping cough).
