I'm wondering, after how many days of having a common cold can my mom safely get her second dose of Covishield? It's already time for her to get it, but she recently had a cold that's mostly under control now, though she's still got a bit of a cough. Is it okay for her to take the vaccine now, or would it be a problem if she delays the second dose because the vaccine isn't available?

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with a fever, sore throat, and this dry cough for the past three days. I saw a doctor and started on Cifran 500 mg and Crocine. But now I've started shivering, and my temperature is around 99.4F. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? Its starting to concern me.

To help manage your symptoms: Medication 1. Continue Cifran 500 mg: Complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully treated. 2. Crocine: Continue taking Crocine as directed for fever management. Additional Measures 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 3. Warm liquids: Enjoy warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 4. Honey: Consider adding honey to your warm liquids, as it has antimicrobial and soothing properties. 5. Saline gargle: Gargle with warm saline water several times a day to help reduce throat inflammation. 6. Humidify: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help relieve dry cough and congestion. Monitoring 1. Temperature: Keep track of your temperature. If it exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period, consult your doctor. 2. Symptom progression: Monitor your symptoms. If they worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache, seek immediate medical attention.

I drank 3 cans of Red Bull hoping to get through my back-to-back exams since it's my final semester, but now I'm regretting it. I had one can in the evening, the next at around 11 PM, and the last one this morning at about 5:30 AM. After that third one, I started feeling really nauseous and ended up vomiting just an hour before my exam. I realized I mostly had them on an empty stomach. Even though I felt somewhat better after puking, it's been a while, and I'm still feeling weak and a bit off. I'm scared and definitely not touching Red Bull again. What should I do now, and what should I avoid to feel better?

Consuming 3 cans of Red Bull in a short period, especially on an empty stomach, can lead to caffeine toxicity, causing nausea, vomiting, and weakness; to recover, drink plenty of water and electrolyte-rich fluids, like coconut water or sports drinks, to replenish lost salts; eat small, frequent meals of bland foods, like crackers or toast; avoid caffeine and energy drinks for a while; and if your weakness persists, or you experience severe symptoms like chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention.
