Symptom narrative

High fever, chills, tonsillitis, soar throat, vomitting, loss of appetite, fatigue, & leg pain. Symptoms started Monday evening when we were getting ready for bed. Fever & chills went on for three days every 5 hours. The fever slightly decreased on day 3 but he was still getting chills. Vomitting started on Wednesday (day 2.) He had no appetite the days he was sick and was only able to drink fluids. These symptoms stopped on Thursday but he was afraid to become sick again and has had anxiety ever since. The doctors office had told me this vaccine was required for school and I wasn t provided any information about it. After researching online I read it was given at ages 11-13 not sure why it was given so early to my child. If they would have explained to me I would have said no and waited until he was older. Please also note no one in our family was sick or contracted what he had, this was the most concerning part. According to the urgent care doctors it was a virus. The question is HOW did he contract that virus if he was perfectly fine. He has also never had a reaction this severe to a vaccine.
