Clinical narrative: Post vax, he vomited several times and developed a temp of 102-103. She gave him a minimal amount of Tylenol, however, she noticed that he was walking unsteady. On exam, pt's nose was full of green mucus, his left ear was full of wax. His pulse was 130. He indicated tenderness in all quadrants of his abdomen but there was no reflex guarding or any sign of objective tenderness. However, again in the ER, he did vomit once. I think the pt is having a reaction to his IZ, more probably the DPT than anything else. He did get the shot polio, not the live oral one. However, mom was quite concerned and because this reaction seemed a little more severe than others, I decided to keep him in observation.
