Just wondering how long it took for your children to test negative on lateral flows. I'm hearing most take 5 days... they do seem to shed virus quicker than adults!

Thank you for your replies, did they have many symptoms. My Niece Is really quite unwell and is nearly 4. She has been fine one min and then very sleepy and off the next. Red cracked lips and blotchy skin but no other obvious symptoms apart from complaining of the occasional tummy ache. Understandably my sister is worried

Poor niece. Sad No ds2 had very few symptoms- tired, dizzy, off his food. Better within a few days.
