Symptom narrative

Developed red, swollen, hot to the touch lump where vaccine was given on left thigh one day after injection. It continued to grow outside the line drawn around it for monitoring for 4 more days. It was itchy and painful for the child. Cold compresses, over the counter hydrocortisone 1% cream, and colloidal oatmeal soaks were the treatment. It began to resolve about 5-7 days after injection but even 3 weeks out the child has a dark, bruise like, discoloration where the redness was. Approximately 10 days after injection the child had a red, maculopapular rash along her left thigh and buttocks that lasted for approximately 1 week. No fever seen. Treatment was the same as mentioned above.
