Vaccination side effects

2021-06-05 15:30:15
Hi, I took Covishield 1st dose on 31st may. I had fever for 1 day & it went off. Yesterday ( 4 th day ) I had little throat itching I gargled with warm salt water & today morning had little throat pain now I don't have any Problems with throat but I feel little muscle pain. I have little 2-3 red dots on my back of my throat now also. Is it all Vaccination side effects or climate change effect? How many days will side effects last. Should I be worried for the same. I took Paracetamol 500 mg in afternoon just to be safe. Kindly suggest.

The most common side effects following COVID-19 vaccines are fatigue, a fever, headaches, body aches, chills, nausea, diarrhea, and pain at the site of injection, according to the World Health Organization. These may last from a few days to a week and are mostly self limiting. Take medication as prescribed by your doctor and rest. You can keep a clean wet cloth on the affected area to reduce pain. Consult your doctor if redness, tenderness, or swelling of the hand worsens. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Avoid doing strenuous activities for at least 3-4 days after getting the vaccine. It is safer to avoid alcohol and smoking for a few days. The vaccine does not fully prevent infection by the COVID-19 virus. However it drastically reduces the chances of severe life threatening consequences and death due to COVID-19.
