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?

I've been noticing some chest tightness over the past few days. Before that, I had this weird throat discomfort. It wasn't accompanied by any fever or cold symptoms, but I just felt like I needed to cough, though it wasn't exactly a cough and it seemed to settle down somehow. Anyway, this morning I woke up with a severe headache, and yesterday I ended up vomiting, but it was just gas, nothing serious. I felt slightly better afterward. Could you recommend any remedies for this?

take tablet pantoprazole for 3 days
