Not all respiratory illnesses are Covid, especially now we are not stuck at home. Remember the pre-Covid days when coughs and colds were considered normal?

If it's an itchy cough, the best remedy is sipping warm water, lozenges, and trying NOT to cough. The more you cough, the more inflamed your throat becomes, and the more you will cough. Keeping the throat warm by sipping warm water, or wearing a scarf, avoiding cold food and drink, and trying to avoid cold air (hard in aircon-ed Singapore) also helps. Cough mixtures (over-the-counter ones are fine) which soothe itchy coughs help too, but are not essential.
If it's a deep phlegmy cough, you can try over-the-counter remedies - ask the pharmacist. If it persists and worsens, especially if accompanied by fever, it could be bacterial and you might need to see a doctor for antibiotics. -
I just ended the semester at SIM, so I'm not going to be \"exposed\" till September this year. Maybe I'll just drag on my bivalent shot till June this year :idea:

1. Don't know whether the bivalent shot is still available and free of charge offered by the Government in June 2023 because most Singaporeans should have already taken the bivalent shot by that time.

2. You are \"exposed\" to your family members and relatives and they are also all \"exposed\" to the outside world. You could only claimed you are not \"exposed\" when you stay alone in an off shore island.
3. You have advised us to take vaccination fast in your post yesterday and today you told us that you are going to drag on, I don't understand...... :? -

The updated bivalent vaccines are recommended for this.
Other persons aged 12 years and above may also receive one booster dose at the same interval if they choose to. -

Actually we can take the next booster five (5) months after the last dose.

I suspect they might be closing the vaccination centres soon. Currently it is so convenient u can walk in almost any time. When they wind down these centres, it will be troublesome to make appt at GP clinic just to get the vaccination.
