1) Can we ask for your help, please?

The @nhs says;
The main symptoms of COVID-19 are:

✅a high temperature
✅a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot, for more than an hour, or 3..

nhs.uk/conditions/cor…
2) or more coughing episodes in 24 hours

✅a loss or change to a sense of smell or taste – this means they cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal more coughing episodes in 24 hours

We have been asking the #NHS to update this list since
3) LCK started.

The @CDCgov has a more comprehensive list of symptoms.

As #kids are going #BackToSchool without mitigation measures we can expect to see child cases increase and families need to know how to spot infection and when to get a #PCR #test. (Keep reading)

1) #longcovidkids Group post.

16 mths of fighting to get a diagnosis.

“Finally had in writing confirmation today from my kids #neurologist to my #GP that they both have #PIMS / #MISC, along with #postcovid immune mediated neuropsychological syndrome/#PANS and #longcovid,
2) Took 16 months of fighting for them to get heard!! How many of our children have some form of PIMS/MISC that has gone unacknowledged and untreated for so long!

I think there’s so many unrecognised by medics to greater or lesser degrees but it’s all the same
3) - Inflammation & immune mediated response!
My children had a 40 + temp for 3 wks solid and dangerously low oxygen levels (85%) and struggled to breathe every day, blue lighted to hosp yet medics couldn’t wait to get us out and gave us virtually no help. I

💈WOW 🤩

This school rocks!
We need to reduce #Covid_19 in transmission in schools.

Great to see this headteacher taking a proactive approach to #makeschoolssafe and going beyond the inadequate @educationgovuk guidelines.

💈One Year On. Our scrapbook.

Kids do get #COVID19
Kids can be #Asymptomatic or #Atypical.
Kids can have a mild infection, or get #PIMS
Kids can get #LongCovid

2000 kids NOT yet better.
Families disbelieved.

⚠️Contains graphic images.

longcovidkids.org #MothersDay
The numbers of children with #LongCovid are rising with every #COVID19 infection.

⚠️1 in 8 primary age children will get Long Covid
⚠️1 in 7 secondary age children will get Long Covid.

It appears to makes no difference if a child has a pre-existing condition or not.
Tragically children can die.

Thankfully the numbers are low compared with adults.

Every family that has lost a child will be devastated, the fact the numbers are low will have no bearing on their grief.
