Fell off my bike and hurt my hand. I got a TT shot and some ointment from the doctor, but they didn't do any dressing on the wound. Should I have it dressed, or is it okay to leave it as is?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've been coughing every 5 minutes for almost 3 days now, and it's a dry cough. I've tried taking honey, Benadryl, Althromycin, and Novaclox 500, but nothing seems to help. Any idea what might be going on or what else I could try?
Try steam inhalation five times daily. It should give you relief for your cough and continue the course for 2 more days

I got my vaccine today, and I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke afterwards. Should I wait before lighting up, and for how long if needed? Is smoking even related to the vaccine at all? I was advised not to drink alcohol after the shot, but no one mentioned anything about smoking. What should I do?
i will not advise you for smoking and conxuming liquor because all these cause bad impact on our health
