COVID-19

COVID-19 is a virus transmitted from person to person, and can affect children of all ages. Its

symptoms can range from mild to severe, though children tend to have severe symptoms less often

than adults. Most common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, shortness of breath, body aches, runny

nose, sore throat, headache, nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and loss of taste or

smell. Most children will recover within 1-2 weeks. Children can be treated at home with supportive care including fluids and medication to reduce pain or fever, similar to treatment for a cold. Please call the office to speak with our staff if you are worried about any symptoms your child has.
