Ds is 16 and caught Covid end of October.
He actually wasn’t that unwell with it. Shivers the first day and a raspy throat but fine within a day or two.
However, he just has not been right in himself since.
He is very low and lethargic (teachers have said he is very tired in class), I often find him fast asleep on his bed early evening and he’ll sleep for hours.
He seems to have picked up a cold almost every week since. He feels nauseous and has regular stomach aches and often doesn’t want to eat which is so very unusual as he normally eats me out of house and home.
He has also had an almost constant cough since which eases off then comes back again.
He has been in all weekend which is so unlike him as he’s usually always out with his mates, says he just can not be bothered as he feels so tired and nauseous.
I have booked in in with the GP next week.
Does anyone else have any experience of long Covid? Is there anything he can take/do to help?
I am so worried about him.
