Covishield side effects or?
I had my covishield vaccine on 5 June. As expected, on that night and next day, had fever touching 101F. Starting 7 June, I had dry throat and from next day, had mouth ulcers on right side of mouth and pain in right gum. I contacted dentist and he gave me medicines to treat gum. From 10 June, I have developed sore throat on right side and it pains a bit when I talk or chew.
Are these side effects of covishield?
Sadly, I came across news that mouth ulcers and sore throat is covid symptoms and I'm now worried. Should I take RTPCR?

Mouth ulcers are a sign of vitamin deficiency/ teeth abrasion.
Sore throat could be covid.
These are not side effects of covishield.
Most people who go to take the vaccine, get exposed to a lot of people at the vaccination centre. Hence they contact the infection.
If your symptoms persist for 4 or more days, you should get rtpcr done.
Meanwhile monitor spo2 thrice a day.
Start multivotamin tablets for ulcer.
Smile/zytee ointment can be applied locally for the ulcer.
