Your son: Provide soothing fluids, monitor your son's temperature and use Tylenol rather than Motrin for fever control. You may both have COVID 19 and should isolate from others. Testing is important in confirming the diagnosis, and a flu swab may be obtained at the same time. Watch for signs of worsening respiratory status and if this occurs, please see the Emergency department. Check local resources.

See below: 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.
