I'm a bit worried about smoking after getting the Covaxin shot. The nurse told me not to smoke but didn't give me a specific timeframe to wait. Could you clarify how long I should avoid smoking post-vaccination?

There's no specific time frame recommended for waiting to smoke after receiving the Covaxin vaccination. However, it's generally advised to avoid smoking for as long as possible after vaccination, as smoking can weaken the immune system and reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.

So my 22-year-old brother has had a cold and fever since yesterday, and we just found out he's positive for coronavirus. His pulse is over 100 even when he's relaxed, and his oxygen saturation is around 93-94. He's dizzy and his nose is completely blocked, plus his fever's hovering around 99. The online doctor suggested waiting it out with nasal spray and flu meds. Should I be thinking about taking him to the hospital, or is it okay to give it a few more hours to see if the meds help?
