I'm a vegetarian and I don't live at home, so it's tough for me to get a proper diet. Because of this, I'm worried I'm not getting enough vitamins. I started taking Zincovit. A family doctor once suggested I take a B-complex vitamin since I use antacid pills regularly. Is it safe to take B-complex vitamins alongside my antacid, and if so, could you recommend a good brand of B-complex that I should be looking into?

maintain regular diet and avoid excess use of antacids

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?

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.
