I'm really worried because my mom has had a dry cough for the past four days along with a sore throat. I found out that some people in her office tested positive for COVID, even though she wasnt in direct contact with them. Should we consider getting her tested for corona?

I'm curious about the lymph nodes in my neck. The doctor said they're within the normal range, but I've noticed what I thought was a supraclavicular lymph node. The doctor mentioned it was actually cervical. How high up from the collarbone would a supraclavicular lymph node typically be?

Ideally thats not possible,visit ENT doctor for evaluation and cause of swelling
