[quote=Anonymous]Both my husband and I have caught Covid this past week, it’s now about a week into our symptoms. Our 20 months old boy seemed to be fine until this afternoon, when within the course of an hour he went from being seemingly fine and normal to crying nonstop and refusing to be put down, while screaming mama in a way that showed he was clearly in pain. Fever was only between 101-102. After I got some Tylenol in him he fell asleep on me at 5 pm in the afternoon - he NEVER sleeps this early. Normal bedtime is 7-8 and he had his normal nap today. He’s had RSV, other respiratory illnesses, and even with higher fevers he never fell asleep at a random time like this. Normally the discomfort makes it harder for him to be put to sleep.

Should I be concerned about how suddenly he fell asleep? Could it be caused by anything else other than the fever? I’m pretty sure fever is from Covid that he caught from us. He isn’t coughing much or showing other symptoms yet. I'm freaking out a bit because this never happened before and I don't know if it's safe for me to leave his side and let him sleep. Called the pediatrician but still on hold after 1 hours.

Thankyou.
