Patient had zero illnesses or known viruses prior to the flu shot. About two weeks after the flu shot, she started showing signs of swelling in her eyelids, lids, and lips. They progressed over the next few weeks and she became increasingly swollen to the point that she couldn't see well out of her eyes. She could barely move, was lethargic, and had edema in her arms and legs at this point. I called the clinic and Dr. insisted that we keep her home and put her in a steam shower. By the end of December, it was so bad that I took her to the ER against Dr.'s advice and she was hospitalized for 10 days. She was then diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Her nephrologist said that pediatric nephrotic syndrome is caused by an overreaction to a virus. Patient had no viruses prior to the flu shot. She was healthy, breastfed, and was not at daycare or around other children. It was during COVID and she was primarily at home without exposure to other viruses. The flu shot seems to be the only thing she was exposed to.
