I've been dealing with some issues after testing positive for COVID-19 back in September. Initially, I only lost my taste and smell, and while I did test negative after two weeks, I'm still having trouble. It's been over a month now, and although my sense of taste is slowly coming back, it's nowhere near normal. Plus, I keep getting headaches. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and how to recover fully?

View allI've been experiencing a lot of pain in my right arm whenever I cough. It's like this electric current that starts from my armpit and goes all the way to my elbow. I recently got over a cold and have been coughing really hard. Is this something I should be worried about?
This type of pain that radiates from the armpit to the elbow when coughing could be indicative of a condition known as brachial neuritis or brachial plexus neuropathy. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may also be beneficial. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

My mom has been feeling a burning sensation all over her body, especially on her back, legs, stomach, and face. I'm concerned because there aren't any rashes or signs of an allergy. Should I take her to a dermatologist or a neurologist?
-It sounds like your mom's symptoms could be related to nerve irritation or other underlying issues, so it's a good idea to start with a neurologist. They can help diagnose if it's related to nerve conditions like neuropathy or other neurological concerns

I'm experiencing some twitching in my right eye and it's been happening for about a week now. Should I be concerned or is it okay to just ignore it? I'm really curious about what could be causing this, so any insight you could give would be helpful.
Eye twitching, also known as myokymia, can be caused by various factors such as stress, fatigue, caffeine intake, or eye strain. In most cases, it is benign and resolves on its own. However, if the twitching persists for more than a week or is accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, pain, or vision changes, it is advisable to seek medical attention. To help alleviate the eye twitching, you can try using lubricating eye drops and reducing your caffeine intake. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Botox injections to help with severe or persistent eye twitching. If the eye twitching continues or worsens, please consult with an ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management.
