Four month old with Covid?

[PollyPocket245]

Myself and my baby came into contact with someone who tested positive for Covid last Friday.
My baby has started coughing and I’m absolutely terrified. I’m about to book her a test for tomorrow but in the meantime looking online I can’t find anyone who baby under 1 has had it. Has anyone been in the same position? What should I look out for?

My little guy developed a cough and I was sure he had COVID, marched down to the hospital to only be told it was a cold...
Obviously seek medical attention, but have you checked his temperature?

[PollyPocket245]

@Pinkchicken85 her temperature is normal and she has seemed herself but know things could change. Did they test your little one at hospital? X

[Pinkchicken85]

No they didn’t, they just checked his temperature and felt his glands. They tried to use a stethoscope to hear his lungs, but he cried the entire time (he doesn’t like doctors 🤷🏻‍♀️). They told me his cough was caused by his runny nose. Babies get colds. In fact I went again back to the doctor the follow week, as he had gotten better then acquired a new cough,I was told exactly the same thing. I’ve lost count of the colds he’s had since he started going to his child minder!
I hope it’s similar with your baby, keep me updated. Best of luck 🤞

How is baby now Polly?

@JingleJohnsJulie not wanting to jinx it but she seems fine... I stayed up checking her temperature and keeping an eye on her. She’s a little bunged up but other than that 🤞🏻!! X

@Pinkchicken85 thank you, maybe I just jumped to the worst conclusion because we had contact with someone but I could us very lucky if we are ok! X
