Symptom narrative

Just hours after the vaccine pt was inconsolably crying. He began running a very high fever of 105-105.3. In November, pt began running extremely high fevers for 2-3 days with no other symptoms. They started at 4 months old, 2 months after he received his first vaccination. He experienced cyclical fevers. I took him to hospital and another hospital for additional testing. All bloodwork appeared normal. This went on for 5 years. After much research on my part and pt suffering high fevers of 104-106.5 and many doctor visits and ER visits we found Dr. He agreed that removing his tonsils might possibly help put the PFAPA. into remission. He advised me to not have pt receive anymore of the Acellular Pertussis component. He believed that was the trigger. By age 6 pt finally recovered.
