Emily EnglerMy 8 year old has been sick for almost a week, negative for COVID, flu, and strep. She seemed to be improving but is worse again, coughing so much she throws up, tons of phlegm, no appetite. She was a premie and had always gotten extra sick and has had asthma-type symptoms in the past. She's up to date on COVID and flu vaccines and wears a mask at school, and in all public places. What else can we even do? I'm so tired, and so frustrated.
Jamie Lendino@ejaax Oh god I'm sorry Emily. The same stuff is happening here--with our 7-year-old it seems to be multiple, almost-consecutive illnesses. Could that be it? There's so much going around that everyone is getting sick multiple times, even despite the updated vaccines, masking, etc. (although they're not masking in school anymore here in south NJ, though we still do when we go into stores with her).
It finally got me yesterday, too. The sinus pressure is like a Volkswagen is parked on my face. Hope your daughter feels better soon and please send my regards to H.
