Sneezing runny nose: Please get tested for COVID https://www.nicd.ac.za/covid-19-testing-sites/ Also consider Vit D 3000 units /day , Vt C 1000 mg /day and zinc 20 mg /day for you. (VItD and Vit C for the child) . Discuss with your pediatrician magnesium supplement for the child as it likely has to be dose by weight and the child's weight is not given
