Symptom narrative

next day left arm was swollen and warm. Then she developed a red rash and it was tight feeling with fluid underneath the arm. It became very large and then it spread out from her shoulder to elbow. She became frantic and couldn't work as it had turned into cellulitis. She went to Urgent Care where she was prescribed Keflex and became sick as she was allergic to it. She went to PCP and was told to discontinue the Keflex. She was diagnosed with covid arm and to use cold compresses and take Tylenol. She still has a large bruise at the injection site and it is still red as big as her hand. She will follow up with PCP if it doesn't improve.
