So, my mom is 66 years old and she got her second dose of the Covishield vaccine. But then, like 8 days later, she tested positive for COVID. She's better now, thank goodness. Since she's gotten both shots, I'm wondering if she should get another type of COVID vaccine after 3 months, or is she good to go with just the Covishield doses?

I'm a bit concerned because whenever I take a deep breath or yawn, I feel a really sharp pain. Plus, I've been dealing with a cold, sneezing, and a mild cough for the last four days. Should I be worried? Could it be something more serious?
