[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did not get ours tested after consulting with her preschool. Instead, we got tested (negative) and we are going to the pediatrician to discuss as it is almost certainly seasonal allergies. The school would feel better with a note from the pediatrician saying as much. There are a lot of factors indicating allergies as opposed to a virus, but here are some of the key ones: - No fever at all - No loss of energy, no lethargy, no random sleeping in when bedtimes are consistent - They are intermittent. Sneezing in the morning on the way to school but then totally fine in the afternoon while in the house, etc. Bad one day, gone the next, then even worse the next day. A virus doesn't come and go and has a clearer progression. If you have a virus, your runny nose doesn't suddenly clear for three days and then just as suddenly return for the fourth and fifth days. - Both parents get seasonal allergies - Accompanied by watery eyes but no coughing We have been debating giving her a child's dose of allergy medication but want to wait until we talk to the ped. During non-Covid times I would not consider it because the allergies do not seem to bother her at all (they are extremely mild), and again, they come and go. It does feel a little like we'd be giving her the medication just to make other people feel less antsy if they see our kid sneeze into her mask. But I also don't want to freak people out that our kid has Covid or might be contagious with something else -- everyone's nerves are frayed these days. We'll see what the doctor says and follow her lead. [/quote] it’s really not that hard to get tested for covid[/quote]
