I've had this lymph node that got swollen after a fever a couple of years ago, and I used to press it a lot back then. I just recently got tested for HIV and VDRL, both came back negative, and I feel good overall, like my weight's normal and all. Do you think the swelling could be from pressing it too much back then, or could there be something else going on that's more serious?

View allCan 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.

I'm noticing that my right chest is smaller than my left one. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned and look into it further? What do you suggest I do about it?
It is not uncommon for one breast to be slightly larger than the other. However, if you notice a significant difference in size between your right and left breasts, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation. Depending on the cause, treatment options may include hormonal therapy or surgical intervention.

I'm wondering, after how many days of having a common cold can my mom safely get her second dose of Covishield? It's already time for her to get it, but she recently had a cold that's mostly under control now, though she's still got a bit of a cough. Is it okay for her to take the vaccine now, or would it be a problem if she delays the second dose because the vaccine isn't available?
take after symptoms gets relieved. you can delay second dose of vaccination
