Just seen GP for DS (8) who had Covid 5 weeks ago and has raised lymph nodes & general fatigue despite no obvious sign of acute infection. She’s requested blood tests & an ultrasound of the nodes.
They don’t take paeds bloods at the GP practice - these are done at the children’s ward of our local hospital & have to be booked through the trust’s website - the earliest available appointment is late November - I have booked this and put in the comments that I work from home and are very local so we can attend an earlier cancellation slot with around an hour’s notice.
Am I right in thinking 4 weeks is a long wait for blood tests given the kind of thing that is being (hopefully) ruled out here?! Whenever I’ve needed them it’s been a few days later (at the GP practice).
