Covid vaccine for allergy and sinus
Hi,
For around 6 months, I'm having continuous sneezing, stuffy nose, runny nose and itchy throat. But the symptoms are manageable.
Also i have GERD. Due to this, I am afraid to take covid vaccine. Please suggest me whether I'm good to go for vaccine or not

Hi.
You appear to be having symptoms of Allergic rhinitis.
But this is not a contraindication for taking covid vaccine. People with allergic tendency are at a very slightly higher risk for developing allergic reaction to any vaccine, but the risk associated with not taking Covid vaccine is much higher. What I would suggest is, plz do take the vaccine, but take it in a tertiary hospital set up where a reaction, if any, can be managed very well.
Another option would be to consult a doctor before you take the vaccine, so that the symptoms you are currently experiencing can be better controlled and then go ahead with the vaccine.
Warm regards, Dr Aanchal A Mittal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore
