I'm really worried about my dad. He's 64 and has both asthma and diabetes, and I'm unsure if he should get Covishield or Covaxin. I'm so confused about whether any tests are necessary for asthma patients before getting vaccinated. I read that Bharat Biotech mentioned that people with allergies shouldn't take Covaxin, which adds to my worries. Also, I've heard about some people dying after getting the vaccine, and it's quite concerning. What could be the reason behind this? Can you help clarify these concerns for me?

View allI've been dealing with a really intense dry cough ever since the second wave of COVID. It's mostly at night and doesn't really respond to regular cough meds. My doctor put me on Foracort 200 rotacaps, and it works almost immediately, which is great. But I'm still having episodes of this cough almost every night, and I keep reaching for the rotacaps. I'm kind of worried... is it okay to keep using Foracort 200 like this? And are there any potential side effects if I use it long-term?
you can use this medicine, but it has side effects headache nausea

I've been experiencing this weird chest congestion and discomfort for about six months now. I went to see a cardiologist and got an echo test done, and they said my heart is fine. There's no pain coming from the heart area either. But this annoying chest pressure just keeps coming and going. It's not interfering with my daily activities, but I have been feeling more tired than usual. Breathing isn't an issue, thankfully. However, today I noticed a sore throat along with the chest congestion. There's no mucus with blood or anything alarming like that, but the discomfort is still there from my throat to my chest. Could you offer some advice on this?
