LumaRosalina 04/29/20 5:14:22 AM #1:	I'm a teenager, and the past few weeks I've been having weird symptoms that don't seem that related to one another. -My right ear has been consistently stopped up and aching, and sometimes even my jaw aches. My brother has been getting annoyed that I can't hear properly. -The right side of my face (my mouth, cheeks) are numb and I can't stretch my mouth properly on the right side. -I can't talk or type properly, I keep stuttering and making dyslexic mistakes (I just typed mystakes before correcting myself). Example: I started to type vocid-19, and out loud earlier I said "bake a nice peach for cake" instead of "bake a nice cake for Peach". The ear thing has been getting worse over the past few weeks, and my cheeks being numb and my typing/speaking troubles just started today. Can't risk going to the doctor and catching covid-19, though... I hope this goes away. --- ''The internet is the world's most valuable resource!'' -SMG3 "The suffering of others is the most amusing thing there is." -King Dedede <cite>LumaRosalina posted [p:938291158] in I don't kn...

FursonaNonGrata 04/29/20 6:16:36 AM #8:	Call your primary care physician. Could be something as simple as an estimate infection.

Goldenguy 04/30/20 8:53:55 AM #18:	Definitely doctor worthy. You probably won't die from whatever you currently have (and even if you do catch covid, as a teenager your death chances are remarkably low) but the nerve aspect is definitely something to get looked at if not also the ear issue. Ear could be a wax buildup, an infection, or possibly, both.
