I'm curious about how long I should avoid smoking after getting the Covishield vaccine. Also, is there anything I should know about drinking alcohol after vaccination? One more thing, what if I happened to smoke right after getting the shot?

Question

I'm 24 and had typhoid fever about six months ago. Ever since, I've been feeling unusually cold, like I can't handle even a bit of cool weather, while everyone around me seems fine. Lately, I've been getting mild chest pains and sometimes, out of nowhere, I start shivering and getting goosebumps, even at normal room temperature. I feel sleepy all the time and get tired very quickly, even after light physical activity. Walking long distances has become challenging. I got married two months ago, and after the first few weeks everything was okay, but my health has been getting worse lately. I'm working but can't keep up like everyone else, and it's frustrating because even when it's not cold, I'm in a sweater and still can't shake off the chills. Why am I feeling like this, and should I be worried?

Question

When exactly can I expect the fever to subside during the treatment, and how high is a "normal" fever? I'm really worried and just need some guidance. Can you clarify this without just saying to consult someone else?

Question

Do I need to have an empty stomach for the dengue test? The person from Lal Path Labs will be here in about an hour, so I want to make sure I'm prepared.
