Symptom narrative

pt's wife reported he had some redness and swelling at the site of the injection, and that it felt hard to the touch. Pt started to have some numbness/tingling in fingers on that arm so decided to go to the ER. They said they thought it was likely an immune response to the vaccine, but gave him cephalexin 500mg to prevent any cellulitis. The numbness had since resolved itself by the time the rx was picked up. It was still red and swollen, but pt had not yet started the cephalexin.
