7 year old with post Covid- need advice

Posted by afb10 @afb10, Aug 27 9:13pm

Hi, my 7 year old son is one week post Covid, since then he has been breaking out in these random sweats throughout the day and some shortness of breath. Is this common? He has had Covid in the past but none of these symptoms have developed.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

Hello @afb10, Welcome to Connect. I saw your post in another Covid discussion and thought I would respond here. Hopefully your son's symptoms are not related to Covid. Here is some information that may offer some suggestions.

"Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in young children is not very common and can sometimes be a symptom of an underlying medical condition."

Have you taken your son to see a doctor for his symptoms?
