Child symptoms and testing

So I'm pretty sure my daughter just has a heavy cold but she woke up with a fever and coughing. All day she has been off colour and we booked a test for all of us. I'm convinced it will be negative. Her nose is streaming which isn't a symptom is it. I am a bit paranoid as she has an immune deficiency.

I just wondered what your experiences were of your children who tested positive?

Had my daughter tested this morning. We had a week off last week and she developed a cold on Monday. Overnight a sore throat and wheezy cough. Can't think where she may have contracted it but not sent her to holiday club today and my boss was less than impressed I couldn't make a critical meeting.
Fingers crossed for a speedy negative result. I am due to travel for work on Saturday and will be very difficult if I can't go but no way could I sens her to day care today!

My result took less than 24 hours.

If you rate Dr John Campbell he stated yesterday that preschoolers have 10 - 100% more viral load than children 5-17 and we will catch it from them who historically have mild cases.

Does anybody here work in a preschool or nursery and got the virus or suspect they got it? Or maybe parents to preschoolers as well? How was the coronavirus illness for you? Mild or more severe? Any lasting effects?

My DD(1) has a temp 38.5 so should be tested. How do they test a 1 year old? Wiping her nose is a battle🙄 I guess it will be better to just isolate for the full 14 days and test anyone else who develops symptoms. DS (5) has only been back at school 4 days but I'm sure there will be a lot of this through autumn/winter
