Can children who get COVID-19 experience long-term effects?
Anyone who has had COVID-19 can develop a post-COVID-19 condition. Research suggests that children with both mild and severe COVID-19 have experienced long-term symptoms. The most common symptoms in children include:
- Tiredness or fatigue
- Headache
- Trouble sleeping
- Trouble concentrating
- Muscle and joint pain
- Cough
These symptoms could affect your child�s ability to attend school or do his or her usual activities. If your child is experiencing long-term symptoms, consider talking to your child�s teachers about his or her needs.
