I'm a bit worried after getting my covid vaccination yesterday morning. Is it okay if I eat non-veg in the next few days? Some people are suggesting I should avoid it for 5 days. Could you advise on this?

Can I drink alcohol after getting the Covishield vaccine? I had my first dose about a week ago and I'm wondering if it's okay.

It's generally advisable to avoid alcohol after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, including the Covishield (AstraZeneca) vaccine. While there is no specific evidence suggesting that alcohol directly interferes with the vaccine's effectiveness, drinking alcohol can potentially impact your immune system, which might affect how well your body responds to the vaccine.

I'm dealing with a pretty bad flu and a serious cough. I'm already taking a syrup and an antibiotic like amoxiline 1g. So, if a doctor suggests paracetamol, is it just for pain relief or does it help fight the virus too? And what if I can manage the pain, do I really need to take the paracetamol?

Paracetamol has multiple actions ,usually given for fever and pain,you can follow your doctor advice.
