Symptom narrative

Patient came to consultation window at pharmacy on wednesday 7/2/25 to show me (pharmacist) their arm. Their arm was red (large area from upper arm to elbow (right arm)), slightly swollen, slightly warm to the touch. Upon evaluation seems to had been an injection site reaction. The evening of immunization patient stated they had fever & pain and took Tylenlol. Patient did not present with any other symptoms (no longer w/fever, no other signs of allergic reaction, no headaches, no trouble breathing). I (pharmacist) consulted patient to take 2 benadryl tablets right away then 1 tab every 4 to 6 hours & to consult PCP. Patient seemed hesitant and worried so I (pharmacist) called PCP office @ 11am on 7/2/25 to report incident. I spoke to a representative who was unable to connect me to the office directly and collected all information and details about the incident and stated they will have a med assist./nurse/or MD follow up with patient. I tried to reach patient after reporting incident they did not call pharmacy back. I saw patient at pharmacy in person a few weeks later and they reported she was fine that she saw PCP but didn't disclose details about their encounter.
