I'm dealing with a cough that's been around for more than 10 years now. All my test reports have come back normal, but it's starting to feel like it could be some kind of allergy. It gets weird because it feels like something is stuck on the right side of my body, from my nose all the way to my chest. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

I got my Covishield vaccination on July 17, and the next day I was hit with fever, chills, and body aches. By the third day, it felt like I had a coldnasal congestion, sneezing, and shortness of breath. I usually deal with allergic rhinitis and experience allergies to fragrances and some foods, and I rely on my inhaler and L Montus tablets when things get uncomfortable. I'm just curious, could this sudden cold with shortness of breath be a reaction to the vaccination? Any ideas?

yes due to foreign body ingestion

I'm curious about something that's been happening to me. Whenever I'm in the kitchen and accidentally inhale heated red palm oil, I start choking and coughing, but I don't seem to have any issues with cigarette smoke, fumes from burning bushes, or car exhausts. Why does this happen? Should I be worried about a specific allergy or sensitivity to something in the red palm oil?

may be you are allergic to that smell
