  1. Reaction to flu a shot can occur but effects will last for about 2 to 3 days. You probably have a nasal infection. If fever persists or nasal infection lasts more than 10 days you should consult your doctor. You may have an underlying condition casing the nasal drip and infection.

  2. Hello
    It could be upper respiratory infection allergic,viral or bacterial in nature.
    take lots of warm liquids.
    take rest
    Take steam for cough cold and Acetaminophen for fever.
    A vaccine wont cause reactions so late .
    Consult a doctor

  3. Hi..
    It is due to viral Infection or upper respiratory tract infection.
    Do not worry as it will resolve gradually as the virus will complete it’s cycle .
    You can take symptomatic treatment to relieve the symptoms like take Acetaminophen, do warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
    You can also suck throat lozenges..
    Avoid chilled and spicy foods..
    Drink plenty of warm fluids and water.
    Take sufficient rest..

    Hope this helps..

    Regards.
