Child's recovery from covid?

[Justonedayatatime11]

Dd is 8 and usually relatively healthy. She tested positive for covid on 20/3 and got her first negative on 26/3. Sent her back to school yesterday and halfway through the day she asked to come home, absolutely wiped out and feeling sick again.
Is it normal for children not to immediately bounce back? All I seem to have heard the whole way through is that children only get it very mildly, but she seems to have been knocked for 6 by it. Anyone else? I should probably mention I have lupus and we're waiting to find out if she may have to if that has any impact on recovery?

My DD 6 was definitely tireder than usual for a few weeks after, not quite to the extent of not managing a whole day in school (though she was off the full 10 days) but lots of early nights and weekend naps.

Hi OP. My son, 9, had covid Delta last July. He was poorly for 2 weeks and lost a lot of weight. He went back to school in September but was easily fatigued with hardly any appetite. It wasn't until December that he was anything like his normal self. On Sunday he ate his first full roast dinner and 2 servings of DESSERT!!! We were amazed as this is the first time since last July he has eaten a complete meal. He still tends to fatigue more easily and this is more noticeable on PE days when he is absolutely drained when he comes out of school. But he is slowly getting there! It is a horrible virus and it really knocked him for six!

My ds as far as I'm aware has no underlying issues, but he had covid 4 weeks ago and has been feeling nauseous and tired ever since. He only had about 48 hours of feeling unwell from covid.
I would still class it as a mild illness but I don't think that always means no symptoms at all.

A GP friend says it takes about 3 weeks to get over it for the average person so this would make sense.

Hope she feels better soon.
