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?

Why is my fever and cough getting worse after taking Akt4 for 13 days? My weight is 77 kg, and my CECT report shows multiple small necrotic mediastinal and left hilar nodes due to Koch's. The FNAC report says MTB DNA is detected, and the Gene Xpert report couldn't determine Rifampicin susceptibility because there was very low MTB DNA. Is this normal? I'm really worried. When will the fever go away?

fever will go in 1 week

Lately, I've noticed my oxygen levels are hovering around 97-99 and my pulse rate is about 70-78, but I'm still having this on-and-off breathing issue. It feels like my chest gets heavy, especially in the evenings, and it's been going on for about 10 days now. On top of that, my stomach feels a bit swollen. Could there be something serious going on here, or should I just maybe tweak something in my routine? What do you think?
