View allI got a 102.7 fever since yesterday right after I got the vaccine, but my parents and in-laws haven't had any fever at all. Is there a reason why younger people like me might be getting fevers while older folks are feeling fine after the shot? Just trying to understand if this is normal.
Depends on the sensitivity of your body,no need to worry it's natural, take Dolo650 when you have fever and stay hydrated.

I'm really worried because my mom and I both have COVID, and we're using the same nasal spray from Cipla. I accidentally used her nasal spray after she'd already used it. Could this cause any problems, and can she keep using it?
no problem you can continue to use the new one

I'm really concerned about keeping things that come into my home virus-free. I've got an alcohol-based sanitizer and I'm thinking about diluting it with water to spray on groceries and packages. Do you think this would actually work to kill any virus on those items? And if so, what would be the ideal ratio of sanitizer to water?
Avoid diluting alcohol-based sanitizers with water, as this will reduce their effectiveness. Instead, use appropriate cleaning products designed for disinfecting surfaces or a diluted bleach solution to kill viruses on objects coming into your home.
