Does anyone have experience of how long a temperature can last? Thanks

Several days in my experience. Have you been seen by a doctor? Are you in hospital? My dc was a newborn so they were super cautious. How old is your DC?

17, she was admitted for a night & sent home. She didn't have a temp whilst at hospital. Temps been persistent for the last 9 days so I'm concerned if this is a normal symptom of the virus. Other symptoms (rash & headache are slowly improving).

Sorry to hear your newborn had it. That must have been a huge worry.

Oh dear 9 days seems quite long. I'd probably call the GP, or maybe the ward for some advice?
I guess it doesn't get any easier even when they're older! Hope she feels better soon x
