Can I get the Covaxin vaccine if I have my asthma managed with inhalers and a high IgE level around 4000, but I don't have any other health issues? I'm just a bit unsure because of my IgE levels.

I'm getting sick every few months, and I don't know why. I'm in Bangalore, and it usually starts with a sore throat and then leads to a cough, cold, and fever. The fever lasts a couple of days, but the cold and cough can drag on for weeks. I've noticed it can happen after I travel back to Bangalore or start going to the gym, or even sometimes during normal days. I've seen a lot of doctors, even at Manipal, but they just give me meds like Amoxicillin and cough syrup without looking deeper into what's going on. I'm really frustrated. What can I do to find a long-term solution for this?

stay away from contaminated food and water ! change your food habits stop junks and roadside juices , do regular exercise

I've been dealing with this slight mucus at the back of my throat for a few months, but I don't usually cough because of it. However, every time I go swimming, I end up sneezing a lot and my nose gets really runny. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if it's just a normal reaction.

take one course of antibiotic tablet amoxyclav for 5 days,twice a day

I'm trying to figure out when it's best to take Montair LC versus Allegra M. Can you help clarify how they're different and when each should be used?
