My 11 year old ds js isolating again due to someone in his bubble testing positive this week. Since then ds has developed a terrible hacking cough, feels hot and is very lethargic. He's still eating and doesn't seem too unwell in his mood but clearly these are worrying symptoms.

I've been testing daily with lateral flow and they have all been negative but how reliable are they? Obviously we will be isolating anyway but I'm getting worried. Dh and I haven't had our second jabs yet. Has anyone had negative LF tests but still been positive? Not sure what to do next...

Sorry to hear he is unwell. If he has symptoms then you need a PCR test.

LFT tests are not for use when some when someone has symptoms, it’s been known for ages.

PCR test needs to be booked ASAP. Good luck.
