I'm trying to figure out what the normal body temperature is. At what point should I start worrying that it's actually a fever? Also, when is it appropriate to consider taking paracetamol? I'm feeling a bit confused about it.

So, my mom is 66 years old and she got her second dose of the Covishield vaccine. But then, like 8 days later, she tested positive for COVID. She's better now, thank goodness. Since she's gotten both shots, I'm wondering if she should get another type of COVID vaccine after 3 months, or is she good to go with just the Covishield doses?

I've been experiencing a mild fever every evening for the past week, usually staying under 100, mostly around 99. But then it seems to return to normal by the next morning. I've also had occasional headaches, though my stomach feels okay. I had a CBC and urine ESR done, and everything came back fine. What could possibly be causing this?

Sounds like you may be experiencing a low-grade fever in the evenings, along with occasional headaches. Since your CBC, urine, and ESR tests are normal, it is less likely to be due to an infection. One possible reason for your symptoms could be a viral infection. I recommend taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every evening when you have a fever. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm wondering about this pain I've been having for the past 34 days. It's like this stabbing or sometimes dull ache when I take a deep breath, especially on the upper left side of my back. It also comes on when I twist my back to the left or right. Plus, I've been feeling a bit more tired and lethargic than usual. Do you have any idea what's going on with me?
