[quote=Anonymous]My kid has a fever too. It was 103 Friday evening, 102 last night, and 101.7 tonight. Also has a headache and sore throat. We did a telehealth visit with the ped on Friday and they did a strep test in the parking lot, which was negative. I would love to get him tested for COVID so the rest of us know what we might be in for, but the ped said no. I too would love to know how the PP with a 12 year old got a test.

I saw online that the pediatric urgent care near me is doing COVID testing with doctor permission, and offering telehealth appointments. But I've just assumed they will say no at the telehealth appointment unless I say there's a cough or trouble breathing. Not sure if it's worth a try?

Also my kid hadn't been anywhere except walks outside for 2.5 weeks when he got sick. And my husband and I have been working from home and only going to the grocery store for about the same amount of time (and neither of us have been sick). Part of me thinks that the only thing this could be is COVID because nothing else I've ever heard of is this contagious or last this long on surfaces/in the air. This is crazy.[/quote]
