I've been dealing with a cold, fever, and body pain for the past two days. I've also been getting frequent headaches and my fever comes and goes. Do you think this is something serious or just a regular flu? What can I do to start feeling better?

I'm wondering, after how many days of having a common cold can my mom safely get her second dose of Covishield? It's already time for her to get it, but she recently had a cold that's mostly under control now, though she's still got a bit of a cough. Is it okay for her to take the vaccine now, or would it be a problem if she delays the second dose because the vaccine isn't available?

take after symptoms gets relieved. you can delay second dose of vaccination

What is the healthiest sleeping position?

Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.
