Symptom narrative

Patient called today stating she had a large red, sore place on her left arm around the site of the vaccine "about as big as a softball." Patient states reaction began yesterday after receiving the vaccine the day prior to that (8/14/25). Patient describes reaction as excessive for normal skin reaction around vaccine administration site. Patient advised to place ice pack on the affected area and take ibuprofen or naproxen over the counter as directed on product packaging for reaction if she could normally take NSAIDs (nothing on profile suggested she could not use NSAIDs temporarily). Patient advised to go to either an urgent care facility locally or the local hospital emergency room for evaluation if these recommended methods did not resolve the reaction quickly, or if the reaction seemed to progress despite these measures. Prompt professional attention for symptoms such as progression of erythema, edema of the area, or fever would be warranted and these facts were relayed to patient. Patient was asked to contact Pharmacy back if symptoms did not resolve or lessen over the next 3 hours after conversation, which would have been close of business for pharmacy. Patient did not contact pharmacy during that time.
