Or even pcr? If covid symptoms are gastro will a nasal swab pick it up?
Both ds and dd had covid last month, as did me and dp.
There's now an outbreak in the school. 20 cases in youngest class and about 10 in ds's.
Dd had covid early last month but now has it again with some minimal cold symptoms but sore eyes and sinuses, positive lft, positive pcr.
Ds has had an upset tummy. Calmed down today but was on the toilet non stop yesterday.
So I'm thinking there could be a good chance it's covid given circumstances. Obviously it might not be. The school apparently have had multiple kids who are covid positive with stomach ache and vomiting.
I don't want to pcr him yet on the off chance it could be still positive from last month. So will do an lft on him! As they pick up when most infectious right?
I didn't do test him yesterday as he was on and off the toilet, testing distresses him, he has sen and quite honestly I was worried he'd poo himself if I attempted a test yesterday.
He's obviously not in school as it could be a bug so putting covid aside, need to stick to 48 hour rule!
He is fine otherwise. Eating, running around and no other symptoms!
