If a child is suspected of having a novel coronavirus infection, it is recommended to first clarify whether it is a novel coronavirus infection because many diseases can cause fever, cough and other symptoms similar to those of novel coronavirus infection, such as influenza and common cold.
If the disease is mild and the general condition is good, the patient should be actively observed in isolation at home for 14 days. If the fever improves after applying antipyretic and other drugs and no other symptoms appear, the patient can be released from isolation, but try not to go out. If the fever persists above a moderate level, accompanied by diarrhea, open-mouth breathing, wheezing, moaning, nasal agitation (nostrils open and close), or even changes in the lips and face, respiratory trigeminal signs, etc., you should go to the hospital immediately.
