Symptom narrative

Itching started the day following vaccination (5/29). Around that time the patient was prescribed a medrol dosepak for an unrelated condition (acute sinusitis) which she started on 6/3. We think this may have helped the symptoms of the localized vaccine reaction subside. After completing the steroid, patient noticed the itching again at the vaccination site around 6/11, then a large hard nodule formed at the injection site which became discolored and was accompanied by pain and tingling (described as a burning, stinging, throbbing feeling). Patient will be advised to seek further evaluation from her primary care physician.
