I'm a bit worried about smoking after getting the Covaxin shot. The nurse told me not to smoke but didn't give me a specific timeframe to wait. Could you clarify how long I should avoid smoking post-vaccination?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There's no specific time frame recommended for waiting to smoke after receiving the Covaxin vaccination. However, it's generally advised to avoid smoking for as long as possible after vaccination, as smoking can weaken the immune system and reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.

View allI've noticed this painful lump in my left armpit for the last two days. It's small, not something you can really see from the outside, but you can definitely feel it when you press down. There's some mild pain when I do that. Could it be something serious?
Its possible that the lump in your armpit could be a swollen lymph node or a minor cyst, which are usually not serious. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's best to see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I'm looking at my blood report and I'm seeing a few things out of range, like my total leucocytes are at 3.83 which seems low, and my neutrophils are 34.9 and there's something going on with my lymphocytes at 56.7. Also, my basophils and monocytes' absolute counts are not within the normal range. I've also noticed that the mean corpuscular hemoglobin and the MCHC are a bit off. I had a fever not too long ago and still have mucus in my throat. I'm starting to worry because I read that these symptoms could be related to typhoid. Do you think it's possible that I have typhoid, or is there something else going on?
