I had a drink before getting vaccinated, and now I'm worried if the vaccine will still be effective. Do I need to get another shot? What should I do going forward? I'm looking for some advice.

View allI'm a bit worried because I had dengue fever 5 days ago, and when I left the hospital, my platelet count was at 150,000. But yesterday, it dropped to 140,000. Is this kind of drop normal, or should I be concerned about it?
A slight decrease in platelet count from 150,000 to 140,000 five days after discharge from dengue fever is not uncommon, as platelet counts can fluctuate during recovery; however, it's essential to monitor the trend and watch for any further significant drops or symptoms like bleeding or bruising

I've had swollen lymph nodes for almost three weeks, but I otherwise feel healthy and can't figure out why they're swollen. I've been to my GP and had an ultrasound and blood test, but I'm still waiting on results. I do have anxiety, and it's stressing me out that my lymph nodes have been swollen for so long. Any idea why this could be happening or how serious it might be?
