Symptom narrative

24 hours after the meningitis B vaccine, my son's arm at the injection site was very red, raised, and it spread to an area approximately 4" wide x 8" long, and he complained of discomfort and soreness. Then 36-38 hours after he complained of an excruciating headache. The vaccine was Tuesday afternoon, he missed school yesterday and today. He is in bed. And says his head hurts worse when he sits up. Doctor suggested alternating advil and tylenol, which we are doing. And he is icing his head.
