Recovered fever, coughing and sneezing
My niece is 9 y/o and was down with fever about a week or 2 weeks ago, having flu like symptoms, coughing and sneezing. The fever is gone but she is still coughing and sneezing and have got my mum and I coughing and sneezing now as we all live together. However my mum and I has no other symptoms as fever apart from the coughing and sneezing. This is a concern as we are aware that some people does not have symptoms shown before being diagnosed with Covid-19. Should we get this checked?
