Symptom narrative

Pt received 1 dose of Capvaxive in her left arm on Monday, 4/14/25. She then presented to the pharmacy today showing us her arm. She said her symptoms started Monday evening. She presented today with redness and swelling from the top of her left arm, down to almost her elbow. The skin was also warm to the touch and she explained her skin as feeling "tight". She said it is not super painful, but just feels tight and warm. They only thing she has taken for her symptoms was Tylenol OTC. She was not in terrible distress, but was concerned about what to do. I helped her find Benadryl OTC for the reaction and told her to apply a cold compress as well for swelling and discomfort. She could continue to take the Tylenol and/or Ibuprofen for pain control. She only obtained one vaccine that day. She did not mention having any fevers or any other symptoms at this time. I encouraged her to seek medical attention with her PCP or an urgent care to be sure there was not infection d/t the symptoms she presented with.
