I'm wondering about eating non-veg around the time I get my vaccine. Is it okay to have non-veg the day before I get vaccinated? And what about on the day of or after the vaccine? Can you tell me if it's safe or if I should avoid it?

Yes, it is safe to eat non-vegetarian food both before and after taking the vaccine. There is no specific dietary restriction for consuming non-veg around the time of vaccination. Just ensure you are eating balanced meals and staying hydrated to support your immune system post-vaccination.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my temperature readings. They're usually between 98.6 and 99.2, but most often fall between 98.5 and 98.8. I'm not feeling feverish or anything, but should I be worried? Is this considered a fever?

Question

After getting the Covishield vaccine, I ended up with a really high fever, around 102.5F, and even paracetamol didn't really help bring it down. I had to take showers multiple times just to cope. Now three days later, I started sneezing and I have post nasal drip. My nose feels blocked and I'm suffocating a bit, especially since I have allergic asthma. Do you think it's possible that I've caught a cold from taking so many showers when I had the fever?

Question

I'm feeling a bit stuck because my doctor recommended Mebex Plus tablets for me, but I can't seem to find them in any pharmacies nearby. Is it okay if I just take regular Mebex instead?
