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?

Do you have any recommendations for a good cough syrup specifically for dry coughs? I'd love to know what might actually help soothe this!

You can use Grylinctus dx or Ascoril
