Symptom narrative

My son developed jaundice approximately 48 hours after the vaccine and had to be placed under bilirubin lights. Additionally he latched and nursed at birth, and lost the ability to latch after the vaccine. After about a week to two weeks he developed chronic crying which lasted for several months . He cried inconsolably for no apparent reason and had to be in constant motion to be consoled. We were told it was colic but there was no apparent gas or GI issue at the time.

Current illness

None, he was a newborn , but he was born three weeks early. The labor was very complicated with failed induction resulting in C-section. Mother was preeclamptic at the time.

Lab data

Hospital tested bilirubin levels when he appeared jaundiced. I do not know the specific numbers. This data was used to confirm his need for the bilirubin lights.
