Anyone had a child with a temp that had a neg PCR? Please say yes!

I lateral flow test him every single morning. All negative, including today.

He had positive cases in his class discovered on Wed. Kept him out of school Thurs & Friday.

He had a temp last night. So I took him for a PCR this morning.

This would be the first Christmas we'll have spent with my parents in 4 years so I'm desperate for some hope. They live abroad so were due to fly next week.

It's going to be positive isn't it...

My daughter's came back negative despite her being a close contact of multiple positive cases in her class, and being sent home with a temperature and symptoms similar to the confirmed positive cases. She had a temp for 24hrs then was back to her normal self. All daily lfts are negative too.

Yes - my daughter. She's had loads of viral illnesses & two chest infections. Relax.

.....good for you? Not sure what you want me to say to that?

Last weekend. Whole family had temp, headaches, nausea, aching muscles. All negative.

Yes
High temp turned out to be throat infection requiring antibiotics
I think we are all programmed to think Covid first now

( all of my DC have actually had Covid , none had a high temp with it , mostly asymptomatic)

Both mine had high temps, cases in school/nursery etc. But came back negative today on PCR. Were also testing negative on LFT. Good luck.

It's positive.

And I'm crushed.

Ah I'm sorry, that is hard. Weve just heard that ds1's best friend, who weve been giving lifts to all week, has tested positive. So we are also now waiting for the axe to fall. It's my df's 90th birthday on the 27th.

Really sorry to hear that @glutten4punishment

Could your family change flights and come for new year?

Yes. Covid didn’t cause temps in my kids and LFTs picked them up.

Infections that’s have caused temps have not been covid in my house.

Really sorry OP. That sucks.

So sorry, OP.

Ah no- what a shame OP! Can you change flights and fly between Christmas and NY?

Sorry OP.

I'm so sorry. I feel like this is all a ticking time bomb for us all.

Yes of course, temps in little ones are pretty common for a variety of reasons.

Yes turns out to be a bad chest infection.

Yea loads. My 2.5 year old has had so many tests its unreal. Never positive, even when his 6year old brother was positive.

Kids get fevers all the time for varying viruses so a good chance it's not, but it could be. Hard to tell. Dc have just had covid and neither had a fever. Me and dp has had it too and never had a fever. Not as common with covid as people think.
