Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Marie, Many of us get the 'cough' from MTX. I finally had to stop taking it because I developed bronchitis and insisted that I wasn't taking it anymore. Wasn't doing much for me after a few weeks anyway.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm currently still on oral MTX, taking quite a bit more. I didn't have coughing but I did have severe throat swelling, it felt like strip throat, lasting for 24 to 48 hours. I still get it from time to time. What I found to be most helpful was to have a lot of liquids on MTX day and the day after, making sure I am completely hydrated. That seemed to help in my case. Stan Seattle, Sun!
