Observe: Testing only needed if severe symptoms. Recommendation for children without underlying medical conditions or without shortness of breath is to observe, drink plenty of fluids, and treat fevers with fever-reducing medication if uncomfortable from the fever. Call their doctor for any worsening symptoms and they should stay home, as should you except as absolutely necessary. Wash hands!
