Ds 14 has symptoms again
First time he got it in October last year tested positive straight away bad symptoms
2nd time April this year tested positive after 3 days of symptoms and I caught it also with mild symptoms
And now hes got the symptoms again, high temp, cough, blocked nose, negative so far day 1 of symptoms. If it is covid again its been 6 months each time hes had it.
Anyone else had this?? Im so anxious again and my poor son has had so much shit the last 18mths. Was poorly with a bowel condition last August also

If he catches covid lots he must catch lots of germs/colds frequently. Do you know why his immune system under-performs? might be something that can be improved.

There's lots of other bugs around at the moment, so it might not be covid. We've got a bug that seems very similar to covid symptoms, but we've all tested negative throughout.

DD2(24) has had it several times now definitely tested positive in June which was 6 months after the last time. But I had it 3 weeks ago and she had mild symptoms again. She only tested once and was negative and didn’t test again. I don’t think she has low immunity in general but does go out a lot socialising to crowded places and works in a busy manufacturing environment. She just accepts it is part of life now.

My ds 14 had it in November, then Feb and
he’s convinced he’s got it again just now -sore head, throat and eyes. Bad cough and body aches (testing negative but this happened the first time aswell and only got a positive with a pcr test).

My dd 16 just started complaining of same symptoms last night so if she tests negative it must be some other bug.

Ever since he had emergency bowel surgery last August his iron has been low despite taking prescription supplements from doctor. His repeat bloods recently It's still not ideal levels I'm sure it's to do with this
