Since she had an appointment with her primary care doctor on Tuesday, 09Mar2021, she didn't report this. She went to see her doctor on Tuesday, 09Mar2021 and the doctor saw that her jaw was swollen and she told the doctor how painful it was and it had gotten worse overnight. The doctor prescribed her Clindamycin. She is elderly and most antibiotics she takes give her a side effect.  So she tried clindamycin. She went to the emergency room on Wednesday, 10Mar2021, she had a CAT scan and the emergency room doctor saw that her jaw was quite swollen. The emergency room doctor decided it was a parotid gland on the right side and she had received the Covid 19 vaccine on the right side. The gland there and down to her lower ear and down to her mouth, the entire jaw was swollen and very painful. The emergency room doctor gave her the same clindamycin but he increased the dose.

It would ache in one spot then another spot, then another, then another. It was like if her left hip hurt then her right hip would start hurting. She reported that she had body aches and that it hurt more at the shot site with the first Covid 19 vaccine. Her body aches have improved. Her body aches could be from the 4 different types of arthritis that she has or the ankylosing spondylitis.
