Can I take a bath after getting the first dose of the Covishield vaccine? Also, I'm having pain in my shoulder and arm, so I'm on painkillers. Is it still okay to get the Covishield vaccine with this pain?

View allI've had this pain three times last year, and now it's starting up again. I'm really not sure what's going on, and I'm worried about it. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what medicine I should be taking?
It sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent episodes of pain. Without a specific diagnosis, it is difficult to recommend a precise treatment. However, for general pain relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm 28 and have been experiencing body pains and dizziness, and I'm starting to wonder if it might be related to vitamin deficiencies, like vitamin B12 or D. Could you suggest some vitamin tablets that might help?
I recommend taking Vitamin B12 tablets, such as Neurobion, 1000 mcg once daily, and Vitamin D tablets, such as D3 1000 IU once daily. These supplements can help address your vitamin deficiencies and alleviate symptoms like body pains and dizziness.

Cat scratched my wrist, and I'm wondering if I just need to clean it or if there's a chance I need a vaccination. Should I be worried about tetanus or anything else? What should I do next?
It is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. Additionally, it is recommended to apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. In this case, it would be advisable to get a tetanus vaccination if you have not had one in the last 5-10 years. You may also consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice.
