Age/history of: If she is younger than the age of 6 years, I would advise seeing your Pediatrician for an ear exam. COVID 19 usually is associated with respiratory symptoms and fever. Some children may also present with GI symptoms. Keep her well hydrated, monitor temperature, apply a warm compress to her ear and provide Tylenol for pain relief. A flu vaccine should be administered as indicated by your PCP.
