After my 1st infusion, I felt great the following day. Not so much the symptoms, but just more energy. Remicade does take down your immune system, so you might have picked something up. I would give it a few days and if you are not better, call your doctor.

When on Remicade I had no issues with swollen glands or sore throat, but I do know if you are still suffering with those symptoms it would be wise to postpone your Remicade infusion until you are well.
