Anyone’s child test positive after a single temp spike?

My son 6yo woke complaining of headache this morning. Thought nothing of it and gave him breakfast and a drink. We were all about to leave the house for school/work and he said again his head was really hurting this time. I thought best just check his temp and low and behold it was high (37.8). He’s absolutely full of beans and been fine and not ill in the slightest. He went for a test at 8.30am so waiting on results. Just wondering what the chances are of this being Covid?? I know symptoms vary in kids, it’s just so odd to have a temp and headache but yet be full of life.

I’m also quite concerned because we’ve at my ECV mums Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We are in an extended household (Wales) so no SD happened we were inside there house. Confused

Had exactly that. DS really hot in the early hours of Sunday (no thermometer, by touch). I took him for a test at 8am, he was feeling fine by then. Got a positive result Sunday evening and he still has no other sign of being even slightly unwell.

Sorry to hear that OP. Fingers crossed that he's not passed it on to your mum.

Thanks guys. I feel fine but just really shocked I would get positive and they don't. Just feel that must be wrong in some way. They are in my face all the time. One is 6 months old and breastfed!

Sorry to hear you got a positive as well OP. Hope no one suffers with it. Were you tested too?

No we didn’t get tested only my son had the test as he was the only one with symptoms. Hopefully no one else in the house comes down with symptoms now. 8 more days to go 🤞🏻
