I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. It doesn't hurt, and I'm not having trouble swallowing, but it's just really uncomfortable. Any advice on what kind of test I should consider to figure out what's going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You may consider getting a barium swallow test or an endoscopy. These tests can help identify any potential issues in your throat or esophagus. Additionally, a laryngoscopy can also be helpful in examining your throat more closely. Please consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate test for your specific situation.

I'm really curious about how much losing my sense of smell and taste is related to COVID. Is it normal that I can't detect things that are close by and having trouble telling the difference between salty and sweet? I don't have a cold or headache, just a bit of weakness, but I'm worried because my ability to smell things from a distance is off. Do these sound like COVID symptoms to you?
Yes, they are the covid symptoms.
