I'm just dealing with a fever right now and noticing it's getting better after taking Dolo. Should I stick with this or maybe think about getting a blood test done? What do you suggest?

you're experiencing fever that's responding to Dolo (Paracetamol), you can continue taking it as directed. However, consider the following:
General Guidance
- Monitor fever: Keep track of your temperature and watch for any signs of fever returning or worsening.
- Dolo dosage: Ensure you're taking the recommended dose (500-1000 mg every 4-6 hours) and not exceeding the maximum daily limit (4000 mg).
- Duration: If fever persists beyond 3-4 days or worsens, seek medical attention.
Blood Test Considerations
Consider a blood test if you experience:
- Severe headache
- Confusion or disorientation
- Difficulty breathing
- Severe abdominal pain
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Fever above 103F (39.4C)
- Fever lasting more than 4 days

I've just gotten the Covishield vaccine and I'm a bit nervous about smoking afterwards. Could you tell me what might happen if I light up a cigarette post-vaccination? Is it really a bad idea? I dont want to mess up the vaccines effectiveness or my health. Just trying to figure out the consequences here.
Smoking after taking the Covishield vaccination is not recommended, as smoking can weaken the immune system, reduce the vaccine's efficacy, and increase the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms, and consequences of smoking after vaccination may include reduced antibody production, impaired immune response, and increased risk of respiratory complications, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and bronchitis.
