What if there is a serious reaction?
What should I look for?
Look for anything that concerns you, such as signs of a severe allergic reaction, very high fever, or behavior changes.
Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. These would start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.
Flatulence
Bloating
Physical findings in patients with diverticulitis mirror the severity of the inflammation and the presence of complications, as follows:
In simple diverticulitis, localized abdominal tenderness in the area of the affected diverticula and fever
Left lower quadrant tenderness is most common, as most diverticula occur in the sigmoid colon
Right lower quadrant tenderness, mimicking acute appendicitis, can occur in right-sided diverticulitis
In complicated diverticulitis with abscess formation, a tender palpable mass
Elderly patients and some patients taking corticosteroids may have unremarkable findings, even in the presence of severe diverticulitis
