Adverse event making a throat clearing sound. I immediately called his pediatrician and asked if this was normal and the woman said yes. He does have a severe peanut allergy and I was concerned that he was having an anaphylaxis reaction to the vaccine. This throat clearing went on for about 2 weeks and he did it constantly. When the throat clicking stopped, both of his eyes began twitching excessively. The doctor said they are tics and have yet to disappear. He also began having extreme pain in both of his legs. He has difficulty walking at times. The pain lasts all day and night. I've tried motrin and Tylenol, but they have zero effect on the pain. I've taken him to his pediatrician, a neurologist, an ophthalmologist, optometrist and an orthopedic. He's scheduled to see a rheumatologist next week. He's had bloodwork done and we're waiting for the results. The patient did not receive any other vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the COVID vaccine.
