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 for over 15 days now and nothing seems to help. I've tried multiple treatments but no improvement. I recently had a baby through C-section and my overall condition feels weak. Could this cough be related to my surgery or recovery? What treatment would you recommend for someone in my situation?

USE COUGH SYRUP.

I've been smoking 23 cigarettes a day for a year, and I quit about a month ago. I'm really concerned about how long it will take for my lungs to start healing. Could you give me any idea about the recovery process and what to expect?

It takes around 2 weeks to three months to improve lung function.
