A member asked:

Started stelara (ustekinumab) 10days ago. came down with head cold, soar throat, fever of 99.8 yesterday. will i recover since immune sys is suppressed? or go to dr

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recover : Immune system should be still functioning at a decent level. Rest, fluids, analgesics and vitamin C should help. See your doctor if not better in 2-3 days or if you get worse. Best wishes.
