COVID 19 positive: I am not sure what you are asking. If your mother is medically unstable - does she have underlying conditions that can worsen with COVID 19 infection? The following is for both you and your mother: Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face or new-onset of confusion. Sorry, without knowing what your question is - I can't be of much more help.

Older patient: Your mom's condition should be assessed with testing for COVID 19 right away. For your symptoms of swelling, this may be related to the infection or another condition such as an allergic condition. Watch for problems breathing, cough and fever. Drink fluids, rest and follow up with your PCP. Children may also become quite ill from COVID 19 and using separate bathrooms, towels and linens advised.
