A member asked:

Hi. my son is 2 years old. last week he fell ill for a day or two. he kept vomiting and had a day of diarree. however since last night he is couching constantly with plegm and runny nose,and loss of appetite. do i need to test him for covid-19?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe. Do video w/Dr: COVID-19 pandemic at this time, so a doctor on video may consult by video instead of requiring an in-person visit. Flu-like symptoms can be from a strep throat infection, a cold or influenza, or from some other cause like COVID-19. Usually, stomach flu (vomiting, diarrhea) are other stomach infections instead of COVID-19. COVID-19 testing depends on local availability. (3/22/20)
