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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been really worried because I lost my sense of smell around October 14th or 15th. I got tested on the 16th and my ct value came back as 27. I've been isolating since the 15th, and I haven't had any other symptoms. My oxygen, pulse, and temperature have all been normal, and thankfully my sense of smell has returned. I'm just wondering, when is it safe for me to come out of isolation?
21 days of isolation is enough and safe, maintain that,eat healthy and take rest.

I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Back on January 6th, I had some tests done that showed minor typhoid and a high TLC of 12500. I was on treatment for about two weeks, and afterwards my fever went away and my TLC went down to 11000. I felt pretty good then, but a few days later, I started feeling like I had a fever again, even though my temperature and BP were normal. Yesterday I noticed my temperature was 96.8, but it went back to normal on its own. This morning, the feverish feeling came back despite an okay temperature. I took a Dolo 650 after breakfast and felt better during the day, but then my fever spiked to 100.2 in the evening. I'm just at a loss about what's going on here. What could this be? Could you suggest which tests I should get done to find out why this keeps happening?
it is good suggestion
