What is the healthiest sleeping position?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.

I've been having this low-grade fever for 16 days now, hovering between 98 and 99.8. I took a Widal test and my results showed S.typhiO 1320 and S typhi H 1160. The doctor I saw prescribed Azilide500 and Oflomac400 for me. I even had a urine test done, which came back normal. Sometimes my fever goes away, but then it creeps back up to 99. It's making me a bit impatient and kind of worried. How much longer is this likely to last, and is there anything else I should be doing?

Can I drink alcohol after getting the Covishield vaccine? I had my first dose about a week ago and I'm wondering if it's okay.

It's generally advisable to avoid alcohol after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, including the Covishield (AstraZeneca) vaccine. While there is no specific evidence suggesting that alcohol directly interferes with the vaccine's effectiveness, drinking alcohol can potentially impact your immune system, which might affect how well your body responds to the vaccine.
