I take methotrexate and orencia (abatacept) my ra. i have a cold (mucus, dry cough, sore throat). what over the counter meds can i take? dayquil? any others?.

No contraindication: to the OTC cold medicines mentioned. Whether they work or not is another issue. I find that inhaling warm steam for a few minutes 2x daily for 3 days may help hasten recovery.
