Last night at 4am my dd woke up with a terrible, croupy barky cough. This lasted until well after 7 this morning. She's had cold symptoms for few days, although no other Covid symptoms.
I had to make a decision about whether we all needed to isolate, so did what I thought was the right thing, called my work, children's school etc, booked my dd a test. My husband was asleep through all this.
He is now really cross with me for doing all this. Says that you'd have to be mad to book a test, is certain that it will be positive (because he's been reading all about false positive tests) and we'll all have to isolate for 14 days. He says I was really silly and overreacted.
So now he's barely talking to me. I already feel worried that I shouldn't have done any of this, so it's making me feel much worse.
I took my dd for the test. I only managed about 1 second in throat and up nostril, (she's only 3) so now I'm worried it will be inconclusive and she'll have to have another test. Or that he'll be right.
Please tell me I did the right thing!!!
She's still coughing intermittently, although no where near as bad as last night.
I feel really miserable.
