Pfizer shot #1 Allergic reaction, Bismarck, ND, USA
3 years ago •reported by user-btmqq596
I had the Pfizer shot on 2/25/21. Within 15 minutes of receiving the shot I felt a slight itching sensation between my upper lip and nose. After 45 minutes, my whole face, feet and hands were itching. My hands and feet became red and swollen. My tongue
also started to swell.
I went to the ER and was treated with Prednisone, Pepcid, and Benadryl. After 3 hours I was released with a prescription for Prednisone.
By Saturday morning the same effects were repeating themselves to an increased degree, as well as a hoarseness when I spoke. I went to an urgent care clinic, since the hospital had told me to see my doctor, who wasn’t available on Saturday.
I was put on a combination of Famotidine, Hydroxyzine HCL, and Zyrtec for 7 days. As the swelling and itching have been decreasing, I have been able to reduce the medications. | Symptoms: Allergic Reaction, Swelling, Itching
