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've been sneezing a lot, dealing with a bad cold and coughing. My fever's been bouncing between 98.9 and 100.0. Do you think it's okay to take Sinarest and Cetrizine at the same time? How often should I be taking them?

While Sinarest (a combination of antihistamine, decongestant, and pain reliever) and Cetrizine (an antihistamine) can provide relief from cold and allergy symptoms, taking them together may increase the risk of drowsiness, dry mouth, and other side effects; however, if you still want to take them together, the typical dosage is Sinarest 1 tablet 3-4 times a day and Cetrizine 1 tablet 1-2 times a day, but please consult your doctor

I'm dealing with fever, loose motion, and vomiting since this morning, and I'm feeling so weak I cant even make it downstairs to see a doctor. What could be causing this? Should I be worried and what can I do at home to feel better?

I recommend taking acetaminophen 500mg for fever, loperamide 2mg for loose motions, and ondansetron 4mg for vomiting. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.
