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?

View allI've been having neck pain since last week and even had a fever for one night. When I sleep, I usually have some discomfort, so I tried going without a pillow, which helped for a few days. I've also been sleeping under a fan at night. Today, I noticed a lump in my tonsil area on the left side of my neck, and theres pain on the right side, but the swelling is only on the left. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be causing this and how I can treat it. Any insights you can provide?
Fever that lasts for several days. Difficulty swallowing or breathing. If the lump gets larger or more painful over time. If there are any new lumps or unexplained symptoms that arise. get it evaluated by a doctor

It's been four days since I tested positive and my throat is really sore. It's so painful that even drinking water is tough. Could you suggest any remedy that might help with this?
To soothe a sore throat and make hydration easier, try these remedies: gargle with warm salt water (14 teaspoon salt in 8 ounces of water), use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, sip on warm, non-caffeinated liquids like tea or broth

I've put 3 to 4 drops of ear drops in my left ear last night around 10, and now it's totally blocked. I'm having trouble hearing properly. What's going on? Should I go see the nearest hospital for this?
you might have wax in the ear which swelled up after putting ear drops.. visit an ENT specialist for assessment and wax removal if required..
