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.

View allI'm on my 13th day without being able to smell or taste anything, and my nose is still blocked. I tested positive for COVID ten days ago and haven't had symptoms like fever or breathlessness since day one. I've been taking Azithromycin 500 for five days, along with Montek, Limcee, Zincovit, and vitamin D weekly. I'm feeling just like I did on day onenothing's improved or gotten worse. A doctor suggested I take Ivermectol once daily for three days and Doxy 1 LDR twice a day for five days. Should I go ahead with this? My oxygen levels are between 97 and 99. What do you think?

I've just gone through my body check-up results, and they show that I have a vitamin D deficiency. The level is at 10.7, and my lymphocytes are a bit high at 42. I've been having occasional lower back pain and Im worried it might be connected to the vitamin issue. Do you think I should start taking a vitamin D supplement? And should I be concerned about the lymphocytes level?
For your vitamin D deficiency, I recommend taking a supplement such as "Drisdol" at a dosage of 1000-2000 IU per day. This will help increase your vitamin D levels and may alleviate your lower back pain. As for the high lymphocyte count, it is important to determine the underlying cause. I suggest further evaluation by a healthcare provider to investigate possible infections, autoimmune disorders, or other medical conditions that could be contributing to the elevated lymphocytes.
