Teen, puke, hot and cold, runny nose, lateral flow. Negative.. Pcr? Sound like anyone else's young teen?

Just wondering.. She's puke, hot and cold and runny nose.. Has anyone else had these symptoms..

Bump just in case

Daughter had similar for twenty four hours back in November, tested positive

She was only like this for a day

If your teen is hot and cold she clearly needs a PCR test. The lateral flow tests are much less reliable and apparently only pick up half of positive cases.

Lateral flow tests are not appropriate for people with symptoms. A negative test only means that there wasn’t enough covid antigen present, not that there was none. Please book a pcr test to be sure!

So people think this could be symptoms?

You need to order a PCR test, or take her to a PCR test centre.
Hope she is ok.

This will be 3rd time sincerely corona began.. Before she'd actually had a cough etc.

I've booked one in for tomorrow... Best to be on safe side..

Possible coronavirus, dd year group all has similar symptoms, slight variations, but all tested positive.

Hope she feels better soon

Really, a whole year group!
Dd school had one case before eatser.. And they don't tell us which year..

Sunday is day 14 of my vaccine.. Astra so I hope I've got some immunity..

Hope you are both ok, dd year group about 1/4 caught it across several classes, although not all tested and, I suspect, some a symptomatic

No-one was really ill though

Well could be the flu

My children had Coronavirus in January. They are aged 10 and 12. Their main symptom was vomiting for a couple of days. If DH and I hadn't had confirmed Coronavirus at that time we would have just thought it was a tummy bug. They also had Covid toes which are purple marks and blisters on their toes.

@SprungisSpringYaY. How is she now??

Thanks just..

Did pcr as well as lateral flow and both negative... Shes much better, moving around etc but it's weird.. A cold with puke? Etc..

Oh I had cold with puke (and also negative test). I presume something viral and I felt pretty knocked out for a couple of days. Friend had similar. Coincided with kids back at school

Stomach problems are common with flu. Glad she's feeling a bit better

Glad you got confirmation and hope she continues to feel better over the coming days
