Hi my nearly 11 year old is unwell. Very lacking in energy, sore throat, sore tummy, a bit of a cough but mot significant. Lacking appetite.
It seems somewhat similar to when he's had it twice before BUT there is no fever this time.

I don't want to test him just wondering if the above sounds plausible. I'm almost hoping it is covid tbh because I know he will bounce back.

Dd10 same symptoms had it. I tested her because she started saying the light hurt her eyes and I was worried about meningitis. She also had nausea and diarrhoea

Thanks, he now does have a mild fever so I suppose it’s extremely likely 😔

I currently have covid (tested positive on Sunday), but km not a child.

Mine is all about head pain. Every bit of my head hurts - headache, ear ache, sore throat, behind my eyes hurt, back of my head hurts - its like everything from shoulders upwards hurts. Bit if a cough and bit of a runny/blocked nose, but minor.

My taste is fine, appetite unchanged, stomach fine. But im taking 16 pain killers a day (alternate cocodimal and ibuprofen) and thr head pain is still there.
