I'm really worried about my husband. He's dealing with chicken pox right now and besides the rash, he's got a really bad headache and fever. It's making me anxious. Is this normal with chicken pox, or should we be more concerned about these symptoms? What should we do to help him feel better?

Been a bit anxious about my vaccination schedule. I had a COVID infection around two months ago and just took my first Covishield shot. I'm worried because its been 68 weeks since my initial dose. Is it okay to have such a long gap between the two doses? Would love some advice on this.

I'm a bit concerned about my health and was hoping you could help me out. I just got some test results back and it says my globulin level is at 3.8. Is that considered high? I'm a bit worried about what that means for my health. Also, my cholesterol levels are up there too. What kind of treatment should I be considering for both these issues? I'm really looking to get a handle on this and any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
