Symptom narrative

On 9/12/25, 3:15pm after shot given, left upper arm pain at injection site. Applied ice pack. On 9/12/25 at 9:16 pm, left upper arm pain, itchy. Applied ice pack. On 9/13/25 at 9:57am, left upper arm still sore, itchy, and red. Applied ice pack. On 9/13/25 at 6:34 pm, left upper arm is red, sore, itchy, swollen and warm to the touch. I took my son to Urgent Care and he was given Motrin. Urgent Care also drew a circle on my son's arm with a black sharpie marker and advised if the redness spreads outside of the black circle over the next 24 hours to have him seen again. Discharge instructions indicated to give ibuprofen 20ml every 6 hours as needed for pain and swelling, may use Benadryl 10ml by mouth for itchiness of reaction site. On 9/14/25 at 8:44am, the redness spread outside the black marker circle on his arm. I left a message for answering service. On 9/14/25 at 12:10pm, redness spread even more and we made a return trip to Urgent Care where they prescribed Cephalexin 250mg/5ml susp 200ml 10ml by mouth twice daily for 10 days. By 9/20/25, symptoms disappeared.
