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 allMy left ear has been feeling blocked for the last 45 days. It started as a feeling of it blocking and opening on and off, but today it's feeling more blocked than ever, and there's some mild pain now and then. I'm really getting worried. Any idea what's happening or what I should do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a buildup of earwax causing a blockage in your left ear. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops such as Debrox to help soften the earwax and facilitate its removal. You can also try using a bulb syringe to gently flush out the ear with warm water. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with chronic recurrent sinusitis that causes constant nose blockage, throat congestion, and occasional mild cough. It only gets better once all the mucus drains, but sometimes it takes weeks or even over a month to clear. I've tried Montecope, Sinarest syrup, and Allegra 120 without much relief. Steam inhalation helps a bit, but I really don't want to go for surgery. What else can I do to manage this chronic sinus issue?
To better manage your chronic sinusitis, consider implementing a more comprehensive approach. Focus on keeping sinuses moist, reducing inflammation, and addressing potential underlying causes. If symptoms persist, consider consulting an ENT specialist.
