[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child (who attends a school with top percentage of cases of COVID) who has been sick for a week. We have tested for COVID using the at home kit he was given at school and it came back negative. Are these kits accurate?[/quote]

How’s your kid? Fine? Getting better? Great to hear it. The end. [/quote]

Took child for testing with pediatrician. Flu with pneumonia. On meds and probably will be out for rest of week. Doctor says he was contagious prior to showing symptoms. With no masks, there are probably more cases at school. He needs to be fever free with no cough before doctor says he can return to school. [/quote]

A lingering cough from a (past) infection isn’t reason to continue isolating. The criteria is generally fever-free for 24 hours without medication, with other symptoms improving (but not necessarily fully resolved).[/quote]

The kid has pneumonia. Not covid. Let the doctor give the medical advice. For all you know the kid has the contagious kind of pneumonia. [/quote]

Doctor said flu type A is extremely contagious and my child should stay home until there’s no cough. With every cough, he is spreading germs. I was the one taking care of him and today is my first day with symptoms. Going to doctor for a test and Tamiflu. [/quote]

Symptoms like cough and congestion frequently linger well after an infection is cleared. Ask the doctor what they meant. They didn’t mean absolutely no coughing. [/quote]
