Shortness of breath: COVID screening. He may have COVID 19 infection or another viral infection such as influenza. Watch for fever, chills, chest pain, and cough. Please have his pediatrician evaluate since he is having shortness of breath. Repeat temperature check. Provide fluids, rest and isolate until seen.
