Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Testing/Rest/Fluids: The usual incubation period is 2-5 days from day of contact- though may be longer and therefore self isolation is indicated. If her test is negative, continue to monitor for symptoms for at least 7-10 days. Monitor temperature, treat fever with Tylenol. Check with local health authorities and your insurance company re testing.
