Get local referral: For some testing sites in the world you can self refer for testing. Give the site a call as you may need an appointment time for your test. If your country requires referrals, then call your own doctor or call local Health Department for testing referral. In the meantime, quarantine yourself and child until results are available. Give plenty of fluids, rest and best of luck for you.
