She has had a lateral test and is positive. She is tube fed as she is at risk of aspuxiation. I am in bits worrying what this could mean for us. I can't loose her. No symptoms yet. I am positive so is her sister but not her dad. Who should care for her . I have flu symptoms

    Hello @Megan95

    Welcome to the community, sorry to hear of the situation you are in, hopefully everyone in your family makes a full recovery.

    This is understandably causing you quite a bit of concern as a parent, have you sought any professional medical advice at all? Such as from a GP or the 111 service?

    I can't find the help on 111

    Hi @Megan95,

    How are you and your family getting on today? 

    Do you mean that you tried to call 111 and they weren't able to help? 

    Does your daughter have a specialist medical team you could contact with your concerns? Is her GP aware that she may have coronavirus?

    Hi @Megan95

    Oh heck, I'm sorry that your daughter and some of your family has tested positive for covid-19.  I completely understand how worrying a time this must be for you and you've done absolutely the right thing in speaking with your GP about how to approach it.

    If you do begin to notice any worrying changes in your daughter's condition (fingers crossed this won't be the case), it's important that you seek medical attention at the earliest opportunity.  Here's an NHS webpage about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms to look out for in children and recommended steps to take.

    How is your daughter doing?  Is she still showing no symptoms?  Also, how are you?  You sound like a very loving, caring mum so she's definitely in the best hands right now  <3

    My symptoms seem to be turning into a cough. My eldest daughter is feverish and off food.megan has a slight cough but It could be down to her drool. I think boredom us her main problem at the moment
