THINK LONG COVID 

Not all families will know that their children had COVID-19 as many children are asymptomatic or atypical.

THINK
 
Covid Toes.
They can be very painful & make walking impossible. 
Sometimes only 1 toe is affected.
If they appear in isolation from other COVID-19 symptoms families are often told their child has chilblains and it is nothing to do with COVID-19 infection.
Sometimes they appear months after infection. 
It can also happen to fingers.

REMEMBER
 
Long Covid
Symptoms can fluctuate.
Children with Long Covid often tire easily.
Symptoms often come in clusters but not always.
Not every symptom is visible.
Doctors can refer children to Long Covid assessment clinics from 4 weeks post-infection, but not very many areas have them yet. 
GP awareness is growing slowly, families need support.
