I'm experiencing what feels like a constant cold because of the rainy season, so I'm a bit worried about whether it's okay to get the Covishield vaccine while having a mild cold. Is it safe, or should I wait until I'm completely symptom-free? What would you recommend I do?

I'm feeling a bit worried about a lump I found in my armpit. Should I go see a specialist or would a general medicine doctor be a better choice? I'd really appreciate any advice as soon as possible.

You should consult a General Surgeon for evaluation and management of armpit lumps. They are specialized in diagnosing and treating conditions related to lumps and bumps in the body. If necessary, they may refer you to an Oncologist for further evaluation.
