Symptom narrative

My son broke out in hives all over his body. He ran a very high fever of 104. He was lethargic, laid around without moving all day. He didn't sleep well. He had brain swelling. He almost died from this experience. Following the vaccines he no longer smiled or wanted to play, he lost all emotion. This happened for months after. He would just cry all the time. He was a fun, happy and normal baby before this.

Lab data

I called multiple times to doctor and they just said to give him tylenol. They dismissed me and did not take his health or myself seriously.
