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 dealing with a vitamin B12 deficiency and I'm not sure when the best time is to take my vitamin B12 capsules. Is there a specific time of day like morning or night that would be more effective, or does it not matter? I'm curious to know what you think.

I'm really worried about my mom's health. About a year ago, her B12 levels were found to be around 1800 pgml, but the doctor didn't really look into it much. She recently had Chikungunya, and her CBC showed a high TLC of 14300 cellsmcmm with high polymorphs at 78 and low lymphocytes at 11. Her kidney function was normal, but her liver tests showed SGPT at 40 and alkaline phosphatase at 325. I read online that high B12 levels can be linked to some serious diseases. She's 5 ft tall, weighs 52 kg, and doesn't have any current medical issues. Do you think I should be concerned and possibly get her checked out by a doctor?

I'm dealing with a dry cough and a throat infection. Which foods should I stay away from? Is it okay to have eggs and drink milk while I'm like this?

During a dry cough and throat infection, it is advisable to avoid foods that can irritate the throat such as spicy foods, acidic foods, and cold beverages. It is generally safe to consume eggs and milk during this period. However, if you notice that these foods worsen your symptoms, you may want to avoid them temporarily.
