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?

View allIs there any connection between CRP levels and getting the COVID vaccine? And if there is, what CRP level should I be looking out for? Also, are there other things I should keep an eye on before getting vaccinated?
CRP (C-reactive protein) is not directly related to covid vaccination. However, it can be used as a marker of inflammation in the body. There is no specific CRP value that determines eligibility for covid vaccination. Before taking the vaccine, it is important to check for any allergies to vaccine components, previous adverse reactions to vaccines, and any current illnesses or infections. It is also recommended to inform the healthcare provider about any medications being taken, especially immunosuppressive medications.

I'm on my 13th day without being able to smell or taste anything, and my nose is still blocked. I tested positive for COVID ten days ago and haven't had symptoms like fever or breathlessness since day one. I've been taking Azithromycin 500 for five days, along with Montek, Limcee, Zincovit, and vitamin D weekly. I'm feeling just like I did on day onenothing's improved or gotten worse. A doctor suggested I take Ivermectol once daily for three days and Doxy 1 LDR twice a day for five days. Should I go ahead with this? My oxygen levels are between 97 and 99. What do you think?

I'm dealing with a sore throat that's been persistent for two days now, and I've tried betadine gargles three times a day along with some apple cider vinegar, but nothing seems to be helping. I visited the pharmacy and was given curam 1g to take twice a day for a week, along with clarinase, even though I have no congestion or whiteness in my throat. Should I be taking these medications, or is there something else you recommend? I'm really curious about what the best step forward is.
Curam is a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, which is commonly used to treat bacterial infections, including throat infections. Additionally, you can continue taking Clarinase as prescribed. Clarinase contains loratadine and pseudoephedrine, which can help relieve symptoms such as throat irritation and congestion. Make sure to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if you start feeling better before the 7 days are up. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider.
