Symptom narrative

Patient received vaccination approximately 4:30pm on 5/24. Seemed to be ok at that time. Patient called on 5/26 maybe around noon and stated that her arm hurt and it was difficult to move. At that time (since I personally have had a sore arm for several days) I advised to use cold compresses and take tylenol or ibuprofen. Patient was still having issues with her arm being sore/red and difficult to move by 5/28 so she made appointment with primary care MD. He stated that it appeared that she had infection and proceeded to prescribe an antibiotic (cephalexin). Patient called pharmacy around 5:35 pm on 5/29 to let us know what had happened.
