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.
Next Steps
Take Tablet PARACETAMOL 500mg thrice a day after meals.

Headache and body pains after vaccination is common. But sore throat is not. So better to get tested for covid. If testing is not easily available you can start covid medications after consultation with a physician.
I suggest you to get covid RT pcr done. Becoz these days we r getting many cases which are getting positive after going to vaccination( becz of crowded environment).
Take
