Would you PCR with these symptoms?

Adult - Terrible headache and sinus pain that won't be relieved with painkillers. Had a runny nose but now it's completely dry and hurting

Baby - runny nose, cough, assuming they feel terrible as very upset and wanting lots of cuddles

I want a PCR, MIL is ranting and raving that I don't need one because I don't have a cough?

FWIW I don't suffer with headaches or sinus pain and baby DS is only 4 months so I'm being cautious as he had bronchilitis at 2 months and that was incredibly traumatic for everyone so I would like to make sure we know what's going on

(I guess I'm after reassurance because MIL is making me out to be neurotic because I have health anxiety)

My DD had very blocked sinuses, fatigue and a headache. No cough, no temp and no loss of taste and smell. Positive LFT followed by positive PCR.

Not read through the thread but what the fuck does it have to do with your MIL whether you take a PCR test for suspected Covid?

I had similar symptoms. Tested negative every day for a week. When I realised they could be covid symptoms I took a PCR which came back positive.
