What Causes Sore Throat And Headaches After Receiving T Actemra Injection?
I have RA and am on Actemra subcu injections. I have had injection site reactions each time, four injections, my rheumatologist said that they are in the range of normal. After my last injection on Saturday I have developed a severe sore throat, swollen and stiff neck and severe headache. Should I see my PCP or wait and see what happens

Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Actemra injection.
The symptoms will go away on its own.
I suggest you take an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
