A member asked:

Have lupus and do my best to stay healthy but when i get a simple cold or sinus infection, i get a full blown lupus flare causing days of bed rest to recover. is that pretty typical? how to get over flare quickly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infections or any other process that induces inflammation can cause a flare up of lupus. It would be prudent to consult with a rheumatologist to find out if there may be preventive steps you could take. For info: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5432804/ Wish you good health!
