Worried about DS

My 9 year old got a positive PCR test last Friday after developing a temperature the previous day. He also had a stuffed up nose. He seemed much better on Friday but on Saturday had a temperature again and he started feeling unwell-sore throat, headache and feeling achy. This continued on Sunday. Today he said he felt much better and he seemed back to his normal self, so I never took his temperature. This evening he seems to be unwell again-temp, sore throat, headache and feeling achy. Is this normal for Covid recovery-for the symptoms to fluctuate so much? I really thought he seemed fully recovered today but now, I don’t know what is going on with him. 🙁

I had Covid myself a couple of weeks back and my symptoms didn’t fluctuate. It was awful the first couple of days but then I gradually got better.

I think with all viruses it’s quite common for the temperature to flick up again in the evening. Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow.

Yes, it’s quite normal, it’s his body fighting the virus.
