I got my Covishield vaccination on July 17, and the next day I was hit with fever, chills, and body aches. By the third day, it felt like I had a coldnasal congestion, sneezing, and shortness of breath. I usually deal with allergic rhinitis and experience allergies to fragrances and some foods, and I rely on my inhaler and L Montus tablets when things get uncomfortable. I'm just curious, could this sudden cold with shortness of breath be a reaction to the vaccination? Any ideas?

View allI've been using mometasone nasal spray, but I think I didn't use it correctly because now I'm experiencing some side effects. I'm getting rash, itching, and swelling on my face and around my throat, nose, and even my tongue. My upper teeth are feeling weird too. Plus, I'm feeling dizzy and have a headache. What do you think might be going on, and what should I do?

How can I taper off this combination tablet of Fexofenadine 120 mg and Montelukast 10 mg? Is it possible for me to cut the tablet into four pieces and take one piece each month, or do I need to buy lower doses of Fexofenadine and Montelukast and gradually decrease the mg each month? Anytime I try stopping for a couple of days without tapering, I end up with itching all over my body, which I've never experienced before. I was prescribed this for cold symptoms I get every morning, though I'm fine by the afternoon. They've run several tests, including X-rays, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to stop taking these meds.
You can taper by taking the medication every alternate day or by taking fexofenadine 60 mg and montelukast 4 or 5 mg which are available separately

I've had allergic reactions to antibiotic injections and tablets since 2007 when I took claribid for a lung allergy. Even after allergy tests showed only some antibiotics as problematic, others that should be safe still give me skin rashes. Now I need surgery but I'm worried about the required antibiotics - what options do I have?
I can understand your concern. I can surely help you with some medicine but for that I need to know a few more details.
