Hi,
My husband tested positive corona but i n my kid were negative day before yesterday.
Today my 1 yr old son vomited and after that seems to have some temperature.
Is there a possibility he too is positive i mean he is just 1 year old.
Or thia could be some season change fever or something.
Till afternoon he was fine.
Please suggest if that could b corona and what medication can be given to such small kid.

It can be covid 19. Please do RT PCR test to confirm. Monitor his oxygen level, fever and watch for breathing problems like fast breathing. Please contact a pediatrician directly as close monitoring is needed. But kids get only mild Covid usually. So mostly he will be ok in a few days

Keep checking temperature. Temperature above 99.5 is fever. If fever , give calpol250 . Start syp zinconia 5 ml once a day for 14 days. Connect over video consultation for other queries. Thank you.
