Evaluation: Please stay home, rest and drink fluids. Avoid contacts with patients and the elderly. Arrange for a screening test for flu and Coronavirus at your medical center and they may order a chest image at the same time. Healthy children tend to have milder symptoms. Watch for fever, shortness of breath and please follow up.
