I've been dealing with this cold-like thing since September, and it keeps coming back. It makes me feel pretty unwell, and my work's asking for a doctor's note to show I'm really sick. Sometimes, I even get this stabbing pain on my side. What do you think could be going on? Should I be worried about my symptoms?

My dad has been dealing with covid and it's been about 6 days now. He's running a fever, peaking at 100F every 24 hours, and his oxygen levels are fluctuating between 93 and 97. He's had a cough even before this, but it seems to have gotten a bit worse since the covid diagnosis. While he's quarantined at home and mostly okay, he does mention feeling short of breath at times. What should we be doing to make sure he's on the right track health-wise?

regular breathing exercises, drink warm water, check BP and blood sugar regularly

I'm a bit worriedcould the weed affect the vaccination in any way? Like, will it cause any other issues or reduce how effective the vaccines are? I could really use some advice on this.
