I've been dealing with a swollen and painful lymph node under my chin for a while now. Plus, my nose won't stop bleeding, and it's been happening for the last two months. I'm also having this weird feeling like something's stuck in my throat, which makes it hard to swallow food. What could be going on with me?

View allI've been having trouble sleeping at night because my adenoids have gotten pretty big, and my nose keeps getting blocked. I'm really hoping to find a way to reduce their size without having to go through surgery. Any advice on what I should do?
Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. Your provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops. Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.

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.

I've been dealing with a bad cold I caught about three weeks ago. It seems like the main infection cleared up, but I'm still experiencing this choking sensation in my throat, although it happens off and on. I can feel some phlegm sitting there, but swallowing isn't an issue. My breathing is fine too, and I only really cough to try and clear my throat. Should I be worried about this lingering issue, or is it normal after a cold?
Its common to experience lingering throat discomfort or mucus production after a cold, and it sounds like youre on the road to recovery. Keep practicing hydration, using a humidifier, and potentially using saline sprays to help clear your sinuses. If the symptoms persist or become bothersome, a follow-up with your healthcare provider might be necessary to make sure theres no underlying issue, like post-viral inflammation or infection.
