Symptom narrative

AFTER VACCINATING THE PT HE FELT SOME LOCALIZED PAIN AT THE INJECTION SITE. LATER THIS NIGHT HE HAD PRESENTED WITH CHILLS, FEVER, MUSCLE ACHES AND COULD NOT SLEEP ALL NIGHT. THIS LASTED FROM THE 16TH NIGHT (FRIDAY) TILL THE 21ST INWHICH HE TOOK OFF WORK DUE TO EXTREME EXAUGHSTION/FATIGUE/MUSCLE ACHES (FLU LIKE SX). I HAD THE PT TAKE IBUPROFEN TO TREAT THE FEVER/PAIN ALONG WITH HYDRATION. BY TUESDAY THE 20TH OF JAN MORNING HE DEVELOPED A LOCALIZED RASH AT THE SITE OF INJECTION. I THEN ADVISED HIM TO TAKE AN ANTIHESTIMINE (DIPHENHYRAMINE OR 2ND GEN). PT DENIES ANY SOB/SEVERE ALLERGIC RXN (NO SWELLING OF THE FACE/INJECTION SITE) -FOLLOW UP WITH PCP/ED IF THE RXN BECOMES SEVERE!
