Long COVID in children: the perspectives of parents and children need to be heard
Simpson, Frances; Chew-Graham, Carolyn; Lokugamage, Amali
Abstract
Parents have been struggling to obtain help and support, watching their children with persistent symptoms following acute infection with COVID-19. Early on in the pandemic, parents and children felt they were disbelieved by their GPs. As ‘long COVID’ came to be recognised in adults and named as such by patients there came to be a growing acceptance that it can also occur in children as evidence emerged. Indeed, ONS data suggest that 12%–15% of children may have symptoms lasting 5 weeks after an acute infection with COVID-19.
