Apologies if this has been asked a million times (probably has). DD age four is very snotty, has a cough but nothing alarming/unusual about it and definitely not coughing loads. Has a temp of 38.2 so will get her tested.
Just wondering your child’s symptoms? Was it just like a cold?

Headache and fever in my 5 year old. Possibly Appetite a bit off and some aches/ pains but nothing major. 8 year old and Vaccinated adults have stayed negative so far... on day 8 now!

@Letmesleepitoff It's interesting your DC had the burping thing too, everyone I've mentioned it to as a symptom seems to think I'm mad!

@polkadotpixie it was very noticeable! Constant burping for about 48 hours. Such a strange virus

Youngest DC didn't show any symptoms at all, although a few days before she had the test I noticed she smelled as if she was coming down with a cold.

Eldest DC (9) woke up during the night with a high temperature and headache, if he hadn't woken up I wouldn't have known he had it as he was fine in the morning. He went on to develop a slight cough about 3 days later.
