COVID exposure: As both you and your child are demonstrating symptoms, you certainly can be tested if testing is available in your area. This will help determine if you need to be isolated to protect others. You have likely asked your GP what infection you have and what treatment you are receiving, as well as if you need to isolate.

Agree with Dr. H: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
