I've been dealing with asthma and currently, Im using inhaled corticosteroids for it. I dont have any other health issues going on, so I'm wondering if it's safe for me to get the Covishield vaccine. Is there anything I should be worried about with the combination of the vaccine and my asthma treatment?

I've been dealing with a really bad cough lately, and I've noticed it's sometimes causing strain on a major vein in my left leg. It even hurts occasionally. Should I be worried about this?

If the pain in your leg is mild and seems related to the coughing itself, it may be a temporary strain or discomfort. However, if the pain is severe, accompanied by swelling, redness, or other unusual symptoms, it's important to seek medical advice to rule out more serious conditions like varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.
