Are you experiencing ongoing breathing difficulties and throat burning five days after your Ocrevus infusion despite treatment?

Your symptoms sound serious and need immediate medical attention. Difficulty breathing and throat constriction can be signs of a severe allergic reaction, even if it started during the infusion and continues afterward.

You should contact your neurologist or seek emergency care right away. While you've already received treatment with antihistamines and a cortisone injection, persistent breathing problems lasting five days require urgent evaluation.

Infusion reactions to Ocrevus can include:
* Itchy skin and rashes
* Throat constriction or tightness
* Difficulty breathing
* Chest tightness
* Fever and chills
* Headache

Some reactions can be severe and require immediate medical intervention. The fact that your symptoms began during the infusion and haven't resolved suggests this needs professional assessment beyond what can be managed at home.

Please don't wait to reach out to your medical team. They need to know about these ongoing symptoms so they can determine if additional treatment or monitoring is necessary, and whether adjustments are needed for future infusions.
