My father has been bedridden for over 15 years and developed bed sores on both buttocks in the last 5 years. We do daily dressings but now the sores are turning black. He's also had fever for the past 23 days. We're in Pune and not considering surgery since he's handicapped and can't move. Could you suggest a good doctor to treat this? Attached his haemogram report for reference.

I'm a bit worried about smoking after getting the Covaxin shot. The nurse told me not to smoke but didn't give me a specific timeframe to wait. Could you clarify how long I should avoid smoking post-vaccination?

There's no specific time frame recommended for waiting to smoke after receiving the Covaxin vaccination. However, it's generally advised to avoid smoking for as long as possible after vaccination, as smoking can weaken the immune system and reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.

I've been working out for the past couple of weeks, mainly doing pushups every evening, around 100 in 3 sets. But now I've started having this odd sensation where I struggle with breathing and swallowing when I'm having dinner. It's been going on for about three days. The feeling does go away after a while, but I'm worried. Could it have something to do with my chest muscles tightening from the pushups? I don't have asthma or anything like that. What do you think might be causing this?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
