Anyone else with a similar situation?
DS is 16, has always been very fit and active. Competing at regional level in sport but mildly asthmatic. Just for context. Has had vaccine.
Tested positive about a month ago, he was tired, had headaches and a sore throat. Still went to the lessons online that school provided and worked well- his grades for the first part of his A Level courses back this up, as did his parent's evening.
However, he is often in bed by 8.30-9pm and sleeps until 7 am. Sometimes needs a nap after school in order to then do his homework. Sport has been dropped as he simply cannot cope with the training. He can do longer walks now (half an hour maybe, but the 45 minutes home from school would be a problem).
His friends are massively supportive and they are doing things like cinema nights and takeaways at home rather than the outdoor activities and late night gaming that they usually enjoy. (Teen boys can be way more lovely than I had ever given them credit for before I had one myself.)
At what point do we stop with the "you've been quite unwell, you need to give yourself time to recover" and suggest that he may need to see a GP? I think the last time he saw a GP was July 2019!
