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'm still feeling a bit worried because I'm coughing up brown phlegm even though I finished my Levofloxacin course. The chest pain I had is mostly gone, which is a relief since it was pretty uncomfortable, but I can still feel something in my lungs. Does this mean the bronchitis isn't fully cleared up? Should I be doing anything else, or might it just take a bit more time for my lungs to feel normal again?
