[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The doctor should have ordered a test. One reason we still can’t get a handle on this thing is because they are still effectively rationing tests. We know that smaller children are less likely to,have what were the original “classic” symptoms, and we know that many people are carrying this thing around without spiking a fever or having a cough. Schools are contagion vectors. What is it we think is flying around that’s not covid? If we’re protecting against covid, many other bugs shouldn’t have a chance.

They are rationing tests because they have to. It’s as simple as that. Ideally we would all be testing more frequently.

OP it’s likely just a cold. Look at it this way - for most kids covid symptoms are very similar to cold and flu symptoms. So if your kid ends up having covid and the symptoms are mild then it really isn’t that different from any other illness. If you have mild symptoms then again it isn’t that different from any other illness. The issue here is is the unlikely chance your kid has covid and can spread it to others. I say unlikely cuz covid rates are low. Just follow your doctors instructions and test if the fever comes back. Isolate in the meantime. [/quote]
