Clinical narrative: As soon as we got home, he was extremely sleepy and had developed a fever just above 101. He would "Scream" cry, which he NEVER EVER did, and hasn't since.  He developed a severe runny, then congested nose which actually scared me because it seemed like he was going to choke on his own mucus.  He had troubles nursing due to this excessive mucus. He was unable to properly breathe while nursing.  I barely slept those three days.  This went on for 3 days after the vaccination, beginning the day of the vaccination.  Then after the 3 days, everything including scream crying, fever, fatigue, and excessive mucus stopped all at the same time.  Coincidence?  I don't think so... For treatment, I gave Tylenol the first day because he was red from screaming so hard and to hopefully calm the fever.  I tried not to give any more Tylenol, but the next day he kept screaming and turning red, even when nursing, so I gave him one more dose. Doseage of Tylenol given was according to guide provided by doctors office, which was only half of the smallest dose for infant tylenol. I now know Tylenol is the worst thing to give an infant...  Thankfully he did not choke in his sleep on his mucus.

Clinical narrative: Complete body ague - immediately followed by dizziness, nausea, slight cough, heat so strong I thought my head was going to blow off, searing chest pains from cough, extreme shaking from chills followed by searing heat throughout my body, complete physical exhaustion, lethargy, bottom lip swelled to twice its size, difficulty breathing, rapid heart beat. I felt there was a clog in my chest that would not allow me to breath freely.  Chest pains were like lightening bolts that grabbed my lungs until I cried in pain.  Above symptoms continued without abate for 24 hours. I could not even remove my clothes.  I sipped water twice during these 24 hours. About 8PM on Friday night, symptoms became more tolerable.  My fever continued, however, through Saturday afternoon.  By Sunday morning, I felt normal. I am a health "nut".  I workout at my gym twice a week on muscle machines.
