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 really worried because I've been getting a high fever and shivering every 12 hours. Every time I take paracetamol, the fever and shivering go away for a while, but then it just comes back. I recently took a COVID test and it was negative. Why do I keep getting this intermittent fever? After taking paracetamol, I always end up sweating, and then the fever goes down. What could be causing this?
