ExpertDr Shruti KainthObstetrician and Gynaecologist6 years agoA. Hi, thanks for the query. Since symptoms of normal flu are quite similar, so no need to worry. Since there is no fever and Shortness of breath so no need to investigate. Cough can take about 7-10 days to subside.

A. This looks like a normal viral flu more than covid 19. Treat her cough immediately have a follow up with the doctor regarding that.If your still unsure for it to to be covid get a test done for your peace of mind. Otherwise I dont see the need at all.Why to poke a child unnecessarily?
