Question 1

I'm COVID positive, but my chest X-ray is normal, and my CRP and D-dimer levels are really low. My blood tests, liver function tests, and vitamin levels are normal too, and I don't have diabetes, fever, or body aches. My oxygen levels are above 96 most of the time. It's been almost 14 days since I tested positive. Im really puzzled because I still feel like I can't breathe properly through my nose, almost like the air isn't getting in. It feels like I'm breathing rapidly and shallowly. I do have sinusitis, a deviated nasal septum, and nasal polyps, but I've had those for 3 years and theyve been inactive with no symptoms until now. Could these be causing problems now because of COVID? I'm feeling really down and dont know which doctor I should consult about this. Any advice?

Accepted Answer

consult a pulmonologist

Question 2

I've noticed this small, hard lump kind of thing near my jawline. It doesn't hurt on its own, but touching it is really painful. I also saw two hairs growing there. Should I see an ENT doctor or a dentist for this?

Accepted Answer

it can be swollen lymph node thryoid nodule etc so consult ent surgeon for the same

Question 3

I've noticed a small lump under my jaw that I can feel when I press in, and it's also noticeable when I put a finger in my mouth and one under my jawit can move side to side. It's rubbery, doesn't hurt, and hasn't changed in size, staying about the size of a pea. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about or if it's just normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

The lump you've described, which is palpable when pressing under the jaw, movable, rubbery, and painless, is likely a benign lymph node or a salivary gland stone or cyst; however, to rule out any potential concerns, schedule an appointment with a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)

I'm a guy but my voice sounds really high-pitched and feminine is there any way to fix this? Could it be hormonal or would I need some kind of surgery to change it?
