Symptom narrative

My son became very lethargic shortly after receiving the vaccine. By the next morning, he spiked a high fever of 104.7, which lasted for three days. During this time, I gave him Motrin and used cold compresses to help bring his temperature down. While the fever persisted, his eyes were burning and very sensitive to light, which was alarming. In addition, there was redness and swelling at the injection site that lasted several days. To manage this, I continued with cold compresses and Motrin, but the reaction was concerning given the severity and duration of his symptoms.
