As above. Trying to book a test for DS who has a cough (definitely a cold but can't send him to school until tested), have ticked booking for someone else in my house, do I then put his name and DOB? Sorry to be dim.

Yes put his name and date of birth. They appear on the result.

Ok thanks. And I answer yes to symptoms, as if I'm filling it in as him?

Why is it so confusing? There must be so many parents doing this! Angry

Does he have a continuous cough ( it's specific)

coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)

Yep. He always gets it with a cold, cough cough cough. I knew this would happen the minute he went back to school.

Yes fill it in as him. It’s very confusing! I realised I’d dove it wrong when it started asking about work so I started again as him. Keep pressing refresh on the final page if you don’t get any tests & something will eventually come up.

Thanks so much. Will keep trying.
