I've been covid positive for almost over a week now. my sense of taste and smell is diminshed a bit. however, my tongue feels numb, lump in throat, mouth feels weird. are these also symtpms of covid. ive been to er few times already due to symptoms?

Unless proven otherwise I'd regard these tongue and mouth symptoms as part of the covid infection. The medical literature does describe tongue numbness and refers to it as covid tongue. At this stage I don't think paxlovid or remdesivir treatment would be helpful. You could get your physician's opinion.about this.
