Shortness of breath, a high fever that lasts for more than 3 days, and a rash in a child indicate that COVID-19 is becoming more severe. This was told by Alexander Gorelov, who holds the post of deputy director for scientific work of the Federal Budgetary Scientific Institution of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor.
According to the specialist, shortness of breath, fever are the reason for taking an X-ray.
“Changes in it can also be evidence of the development of complications, including multi-inflammatory syndrome – a serious condition in which several body systems are affected at once,” – emphasized the epidemiologist.
A rash that may appear at this time in a child should alert parents, as it indicates the development of Kawasaki syndrome. As for the common cold, it does not require special attention. However, it is necessary to treat him, writes “MK in Volgograd” with reference to RIA Novosti.
In general, the coronavirus in children is relatively mild than in adults. Data for the year show that the severe form occurs in 0.2% of children, Gorelov summed up.
