I'm dealing with a cold and sore throat, and on top of that, my nose is blocked and there's some congestion too. Can you recommend some medicine that would be safe for me to take, especially since I'm a breastfeeding mom to a one-year-old?

I got a 102.7 fever since yesterday right after I got the vaccine, but my parents and in-laws haven't had any fever at all. Is there a reason why younger people like me might be getting fevers while older folks are feeling fine after the shot? Just trying to understand if this is normal.
Depends on the sensitivity of your body,no need to worry it's natural, take Dolo650 when you have fever and stay hydrated.

My mom's come down with a cold, runny nose, and a fever. I have some Dart and Montewok LC at home and I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take both. Are there any issues or side effects we should watch out for? She's also been dealing with a persistent cough for a few months now. Should I be concerned or consider something else for her?
-Your mom can take Dart for fever and Montewok LC for her cold and running nose, as there are no major interactions. However, for her ongoing cough, it's best to consult a doctor to rule out chronic issues like allergies or asthma.
