I have been receiving Remecade (infliximab) infusions for several years now and will occasionally get colds and/or headaches. Usually I simply allow these to run their courses, maybe using some natural remedies to help.

However, if I run a fever, have a persistent sore throat, or feel like I have a sinus infection (or worse), I contact my rheumatologist. Depending on my symptoms, she will then either call in an antibiotic prescription for me, send me to my PCP, or just tell me to rest up a bit. NOTE: If I do have to take a series of antibiotics about the time of my next infusion, I reschedule my appointment for at least 2 weeks later.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that a person NOT have an infection of ANY kind when having a Remecade treatment.

Hmm.... it's hard to be scientific about that, but for example a light headache could be when you get a cold and feel a bit bad. Severe is really when you can't ignore it, maybe when there's a visible physical reaction when a person has a headache.
