Symptom narrative

The patient was seen in our clinic for a school physical when mom mentioned his right arm. The injection site has a localized reaction with swelling, erythema, and very hard to touch. This vaccine was given at County Health Department on 02/11/2025 and this patient was seen in our office on 02/17/2025. Mom has been using ice packs to minimize swelling but not given any oral medications such as Benadryl or Tylenol to prevent rash. His arm has been like this for almost a week. The school was contacted because they are trying to get the patient caught up on vaccines but no more was given due to the reaction he has had. Mom is concerned about any further vaccinations due to the fact the patient has had reactions with other vaccines in the past. We explained to mom we would report this and get further information regarding the info. she has given us in the clinic on 02/17/2025.
