On 29Mar2021, within 5 to 10 minutes, patient had an allergic reaction, she started out itching first and her lips and her gums were starting to get numb and then her eyes started itching. Patient stated at that point they had already taken her into the other part of medical center and gave her Benadryl, around 14:00 hours, gave 50mg liquid, it was like four 12.5 mg liquid and then they made her stay longer, so she thinks she actually got out of there. Patient stated with the medical facility, they recorded it in the notes, they made her stay an hour and a half where most people were in and out in 10 minutes. Patient had left after she had been there a while, her joints, her right hand was swollen around the joints, was still ongoing, they were really stiff and had kind of like a real raspy voice. Patient stated she was still having some itchiness, eye itchiness, and some chest tightness and she was just curious as to whether or not she should consider getting the second dose. Patient stated they had made the comment that she might not want to get that, so she wanted to get some more information. Patient stated itchiness was improved a little after the Benadryl, but she doesn't like to keep taking it unless she absolutely had to because it made her so tired, so she had been taking Allegra, but she was still itchy, so she clarified it was about the same. Patient took one Allegra 30Mar2021 (yesterday), she was going to take another today, so she doesn't know. Patient stated since getting Benadryl before, she had not taken Benadryl yesterday (30Mar2021) or today (31Mar2021), it had gotten back to where it was originally.

Patient stated when first it happened, it was like she had been to the dentist when she had Novocain and she cannot feel and that what it felt like. Patient states she read the side effects and was more concerned about the breathing and the itchiness in the eyes. Patient stated that she had an inhaler, which she had been using it a little bit more than she usually does just to make sure she can breathe.
