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've been having a mild fever for the past couple of days, and it just came on all of a sudden. Along with the fever, I've got this headache, and my whole body feels kind of heavy. I've even been dealing with some indigestion and burping. It's a bit better today than it was yesterday, but now I'm also noticing a slight loss of taste. What could be causing all this?

Question

I got a TT vaccine around 4 months ago, but the nurse gave it on my buttocks. Today, I got a small scratch from an iron wire while playing cricket. I'm worried if the vaccine still provides immunity since it was administered on the buttocks. Should I get another TT shot for this incident? Would love a detailed explanation.

Question

I've been dealing with Typhoid and was on antibiotics, but now I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing for the last couple of days. Could this be tied to the Typhoid, or should I be worried about something else going on?
