I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. A couple of nights ago, I was just hanging out on my balcony, and a bat landed on my right toe for a second or two. I quickly moved it away, and there's no sign of a bite or a scratch, but I'm still worried. My leg's been having this mild pain and tingling, and my head kind of feels swollen inside. I did visit a doctor, and she assured me there's no evidence of a bite or scratch, so rabies isn't a possibility. I'm still feeling anxious, though, and would love your thoughts on this.

Is there any connection between CRP levels and getting the COVID vaccine? And if there is, what CRP level should I be looking out for? Also, are there other things I should keep an eye on before getting vaccinated?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is not directly related to covid vaccination. However, it can be used as a marker of inflammation in the body. There is no specific CRP value that determines eligibility for covid vaccination. Before taking the vaccine, it is important to check for any allergies to vaccine components, previous adverse reactions to vaccines, and any current illnesses or infections. It is also recommended to inform the healthcare provider about any medications being taken, especially immunosuppressive medications.

I recently got my Covishield shot and was told to take paracetamol afterward. I've got Sinarest at home, which I noticed contains paracetamol along with some other stuff. Do you think it's alright if I just take the Sinarest instead?

Sinarest contains paracetamol along with other ingredients such as phenylephrine and chlorpheniramine. It is safe to take Sinarest for relief of symptoms such as fever and body aches after your Covishield jab.
