She has not yet followed up with her primary care physician.   There are notes in the computer apparently from a nurse at the patient?s PCP?s office which demonstrates that the patient?s daughter is concerned because the patient continued have a fever today of 101 F and also continues low back pain. Is initially thought that the fever that she presented with a couple days ago was likely due to her recently receiving COVID booster on 11/17/2021. They were apparently advised to return to the ED if there is any new or worsening symptoms and the daughter was concerned about possibility of a UTI or still due to receiving the COVID booster.
