I don’t know what to do.

My 15 month old went to his first ever play group on Thursday and since yesterday he’s been sneezing, had a runny nose, an occasional cough & now a fever of 38.4. I’ve given him Calpol.

DH & I have both been fully vaccinated and baby doesn’t attend nursery etc so he just have caught something at the playgroup.

Do we need to get him covid tested? Does a cold normally cause a fever in children this age? I don’t want to take him anywhere for a test where he may be around others with Covid as it’s unlikely that’s what he’s got. Cases are extremely low in o it area (less than 3 per week)
