Clinical course: Clinical course: Patient had infection at site of injection a week after the injection and used antibiotic, was a little under the weather the next day. It has been 6 weeks now and patient still has infection at site of injection. Infection stopped. It oozed for probably 3 or 4 weeks. About 2 weeks ago, patient used antibiotic and bandage. The oozing has stopped. There is still inflammation and scab around the site. With the antibiotic, it is healing and itchy. Patient was wondering if that was related to the vaccine. The patient  was not sure if this is related but, at about the same time, patient's mouth become very swollen, tongue swollen, and considerable loss of taste. It was further clarified mouth being swollen as, tongue swollen, gums and inner lips. It started about 4 to 5 weeks ago. Patient was still experiencing these and is still pronounced. Just noticed this morning, patient's lip cracked a little bit and swelling has stayed about the same. Patient is going to stop into the dentist because, he feels, anything with mouth, should be addressed with dentist. Always think they are first line defense. Additionally, almost about the same time, could say, probably 6 weeks ago, maybe less, maybe even 4 weeks ago, had series of epidurals in the back, of steroids, for lumbar pain. May have been a week overlap. Not quite clear, when this all started. Maybe it is from the steroids. The same with the steroid injection, that was 29Jul2024, 4 weeks ago, the epidurals. Patient was going to call the provider who did epidural, to see if mouth thing is symptom of epidurals, or will go back to Covid vaccine.
