I got my COVID test done yesterday, and thankfully, it came back negative. However, I've been having this dry cough that's been bothering me a bit. I don't have any other symptoms, but I was hoping you could recommend some good medicine for this dry cough. What do you suggest?

Can I take a Dart tablet if I got my first Covaxin dose 12 days ago and I'm experiencing a headache? I usually rely on Dart for relief when I get headaches. Just wondering if it's safe now.
It is generally safe to take Dart tablet for headache after receiving the Covaxin vaccine. The Dart tablet contains Paracetamol which is commonly used for headache relief. You can take 500mg to 1000mg of Paracetamol every 4 to 6 hours as needed for headache.

I'm getting anti-rabies shots at a government hospital because I was a bit worried that my friend's month-old puppy might have scratched me. The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?
As its given intradermally that swelling wpould appear but will subside on its own dont massage it.
