I'm really concerned because I heard in the news that having the BCG vaccine might lower the risk of getting the coronavirus. My brother is 28 and he never got any vaccines, including the BCG one, since he was born. Should I be worried about his health? Can you give me some advice on what we should do?

Can 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.
