14 year old ds unvaccinated with high temp and headache

I tested positive on Thursday, my 18 year old dd started with symptoms of a cold after 2 people at her work tested positive for covid. She mostly had cold symptoms but developed a cough. 7 negative lft’s, she didn’t want to have a pcr so we all isolated. My son was showing some cold symptoms the day before me. He’s autistic and wasn’t happy about doing a test so I haven’t pushed it. Yesterday, day 8 he started to get a high temperature which came down with calpol, he won’t swallow tablets. He has had a temperature on and of since then and a bad headache.

I have awful health anxiety and I am panicking massively. The gp is prescribing liquid paracetamol for him and has been quite reassuring concerning his risks etc but I am spiralling and struggling so much.

Can anyone please help to alleviate my fears

Please try not to worry. But do get him vaccinated (or encourage him to make the decision if he's able to) as soon as you can once he recovers, it's really important.

Have you got an oximeter? This reassured me when dd was very ill with covid.
