Question 2

I'm prone to catching a common cold or viral fever a couple of times every year. I've heard that in western countries, there's something called a flu shot. Is there anything similar in India? If it exists, what's it called and where can I get it? If not, what other options do I have?

Accepted Answer

In India, the flu shot is also available and it is commonly known as the influenza vaccine. You can get the influenza vaccine at most pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics. It is recommended to get the flu shot annually before the flu season starts, usually in the months of September to November. Alternatively, you can also consider taking over-the-counter medications like paracetamol for fever and pain relief, antihistamines for runny nose and sneezing, and decongestants for nasal congestion. It is important to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of infections.

Question 3

I'm dealing with a sore throat from a bacterial infection, and my doctor told me to take Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 3 days. I'm wondering if it's okay to take the first dose at night, or should I wait until tomorrow morning? And if I do take it tonight, when should I take the second one, tomorrow morning or tomorrow night?

Accepted Answer

-You can take the first dose at night. After that, take the second dose the following morning and continue once a day for the next two days as prescribed. Make sure to space the doses about 24 hours apart for best results.
