A member asked:
Could having a bad cold cause a flare up in things like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
URTI and flares: A possibility but not definitive or highly probable. Flares can be triggered by many and any things. Drink plenty of fluids/electrolytes and rest a lot which helps mitigate flares. Good luck
