My DS is 21 months- he spiked a temperature last night, no other symptoms. DH and I are both key workers so we all need to go and get tested. It's booked in for later today but I've learned from reading the guidance that children under 11 have to be swabbed by their parents!
How on earth do I do this on a child DS's age? It says you have to get the swab right to the back of the throat behind the arch and the child has to stay really still....
Has anyone done this successfully? Any tips?
