Ugh my kid has a cold?

[Anonymous]

I have 3 kids and my oldest seemed to have caught a cold. Normally I would think nothing of it but I am freaking out since we are in the middle of a pandemic. My kids have not been sick in a year and I was loving it. He has a runny nose, sneezing and tired. I don’t think sneezing is a symptom of covid.

We went skiing last weekend.

Would you get him tested for covid?

For now, I am trying to isolate him so he doesn’t get my other 2 kids sick. I gave him dinner in bed and told the other kids to stay away from their brother.

Fluids, nasal spray, and zinc

Wait a few more days and get him tested.

My 2 year old has it now. Have no idea how he got it because other than playground (w masks) and grocery store a couple times a month, he hasn’t been anywhere.

The rest of us are somehow negative, but my son had fever, rash, tired, runny nose, cough. He was miserable, poor kid

Could it be allergies? I've had a runny nose and sneezing since October. Seriously.

Very low viral load. My 14 month old got it in April/May (we never went anywhere... no play ground and no stores). Nobody else in the family got it. We obviously did not isolate. He only had a light fever and diarrhea for 24-36 hours
