He checked to see if I had the flu.  It was negative, but he wanted me to use Theraflu anyway.

Never fainted in my life before that and my heart is fine according to his EKG machine.

Symptoms: Abnormal behaviour, Blister, Cold sweat, Constipation, Crying
Clinical narrative: Patient screamed and cried when the shots were administered in a way he had never done before.  He went limp and went to sleep for 4 hours.  Periodically, he woke and screamed that same scream, and cried, which has never happened.  He then developed a fever of 99, and then 100.4.  I called the nurse who told me to administer Tylenol which I did.  This brought the fever down only to 99.  It went back up each time the medicine wore off, and he remained limp and cried often, was not at all like my baby.  The next morning the fever persisted at 99 when Tylenol wore off.  He continued to sleep too much and remain slow and fussy.  He lost all appetite on the administration of the shots and drank 1/2 as much milk that day and the following 2 days as usual.  His appetite remained severely hampered for 4 days.  He stopped pooping altogether within 3 days.  He developed a batch of blister/hives on his cheeks on the second day.  He remained slow, fussy, and sleepy for most of the week, slowly improving.  The first 3 days, I thought he would die in his sleep, he seemed that off.  He was pale and clammy. Now, one week later, I would identify him as 80% recovered.  I had to administer sugar water to get him to poop, which seems to have restored bowel function.  His fever cleared after 3 days.  His limpness persisted for 4 days.  His sleepiness persisted for 5 days.  His appetite did not return for 4 days and I had to coax him to eat a reasonable amount.  He remains fussy now about eating.
