My kid is rasping and has fever of 102.6. I’m pretty sure I gave him cv19 from a colleague. Asymptomatic spread seems pretty real.., so please take your social distancing seriously.

SC1 huh? I was asking legitimately, since you said you were a provider. Would like I know more about your experience

Pediatric hospitals are not overwhelmed. You need to call and discuss real medical advice from your child’s physician. Fevers can be dangerous in children. source: My husband is a Pediatric Intensive Care physician.

Not going to the hospital since they’d just send us home. No capacity or enough testing. Anyway I made my point.

Did you call hospitals to ask? There should be more testing kits available now. Good luck to you and your family

Uh go to the hospital? I’m sure the CDC would love to be able to track spread as best as possible + you’re risking lung scarring for your child

If his fever goes above 103 and I can’t get it down.. or he seems like he can’t breathe, I’ll take him infor sure. Just like I would the flu or other illnesses.

I agree kids are being spared which also helps me feel comfortable with this decision. And trust me my alarm is set every 30 mins to check on him.
His school is already closed but I have informed them.

Both my kids had a fever and dry cough for 7-9 days, 2 weeks apart. My sons fever hit 105.8 overnight, he went directly into a luke warm bath and it dropped immediately. I alternated motrin and Tylenol but Tylenol seemed to work best. Both are fully recovered but did have a cough for 7-10 days after the fever broke. I didn’t take my kids in either for the same reasons you’ve stated. Watch that overnight fever spike though.

Did your colleague test positive for cv19?

I didn’t mean that to be silly or rude. I asked simply because I know so many friends with children who have tested positive for Flu B.

So sorry OP. Wishing your family all the best.

Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married).
