I'm a bit concerned and need some advice. My workplace is asking everyone to get tested for the coronavirus before we return to the office. I've recently been to Singapore and I want to make sure I'm doing the right test. Could you let me know which test I should take to check if I have the virus? I'm feeling a little anxious about the whole situation.

Can a lymph node under my jaw swell because I've been touching it a lot? I've been doing this for a few days now and I'm getting really worried. Could my habit of touching be causing this swelling?
Yes, continuous touching or irritating a lymph node can cause it to swell. It is important to avoid touching or pressing on the swollen lymph node. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help reduce any discomfort. If the swelling persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
