I've been dealing with a dry cough for a few days now and have been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you recommend any tablets that might work better?

I got my vaccine today, and I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke afterwards. Should I wait before lighting up, and for how long if needed? Is smoking even related to the vaccine at all? I was advised not to drink alcohol after the shot, but no one mentioned anything about smoking. What should I do?

i will not advise you for smoking and conxuming liquor because all these cause bad impact on our health

I've been sweating a lot since yesterday and when I checked my SpO2 with a pulse oximeter, it read between 93 and 98. I'm a bit worried and wondering if I should be checking it while I'm resting or after some activity. Is this range normal or is there something I should be concerned about? I haven't had a fever.
