So 14 days ago 3yo DS had a mild cold then 10 days ago a new continuous cough. He literally coughed every 10 seconds for 24 hours followed by a fever of 39. The fever lasted 24 hours and thereafter both disappeared. An intermittent cough and runny nose lasted a few more days. We were 4 days clear of any symptoms. For the last 24 hours temperature has been spiking again. Reached 39.8 over night. Am only giving paracetamol in case of corona which brings it down to mid 38 but now we’re back to 39.4 with half hour until next dose (giving 4 hourly). Seems to have a bit of a runny nose so could be run of the mill cold?
I know 111 is so extremely busy, I’d spoken with them first time round for advice which was simply isolate household for 14 days.
How common is it to have symptoms again 10 days after the first considering we haven’t left our home?! Just me and DS in household and I’ve not had any symptoms. Any advice welcome and apologies for the ramble
