Symptom narrative

Severe increase in right ear pain/pressure sensation inside the ear within literally seconds of the shot with new symptoms inside the ear - a burning sensation, a feeling of something wet inside my earhole. Additionally, my jaw pain returned after 8 months about a month after the shot and with the same different types of symptoms - not just soreness along my jawline, but a burning sensation and feeling that's something wet inside my jawline. A few months later, I could not take any new medications/things injected my body without a bump in my ear pain immediately afterwards that could last anywhere from a day to literally months. Also developed an egg allergy within a few months, with the ear pain increasing a short time after eating eggs, sometimes very dramatically.
