Symptom narrative

Patient received his 4 yr vaccines (proquad and quadracel) on Tuesday at 5:00 PM, on Friday around 8:00 PM he started with fever. His temp was about 103, parents thought it could be from vaccines. He continued with the fever overnight. The following day he was red all over and had redness to one of his vaccine sites. He started getting swollen that morning (Saturday) before 12:00. He never had any trouble breathing. His body also had a lot of little bumps all over, then the following day (Sunday) the swelling got worse. Monday mom took him to urgent care (we were closed for holiday) Monday and they thought he was having an allergic reaction. The swelling was no worse between Sunday to Monday and it may have gotten a little better. They had been giving benadryl once a day, but are not sure if it made a significant difference. At urgent care, provider mentioned his throat was very swollen but mother says they did not notice any difference in his voice, throat clearing, or mouth itchiness. The fever was improving by Monday as well but did not go away completely until Thursday. He had fever through Wednesday. Urgent care gave him steroid to bring the swelling down, then they also gave him amoxicillin for a possible ear infection (but they said it was mild - he had had clear fluid in his ear on the day of his WCC and has recurrent AOM), but it was switched to cefdinir on Wed when mother followed up in urgent care because he she told them he has had a lot of AOM failures. He did well with that antibiotic and will finish it today (10th day). After the initial sx Friday - Monday, the following Tuesday - Friday he had congestion and cough like "he had a normal cold" that finally resolved on their own.
