According to the National Health Services (NHS) in the UK, the main symptoms of COVID-19 in children are similar to the symptoms that adults face. Symptoms include a new or continuous cough and loss or change in sense of smell and taste. In addition, some may have cold symptoms, such as sore throat, congestion or a crooked nose and chills.
However, one of the significant symptoms in children is multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), which causes severe inflammation in various organs of the body, including the heart, lungs, blood vessels, kidneys, digestive system, brain, skin or eyes. . A post-COVID child who has developed multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) can have a variety of symptoms, ranging from high temperature, rash and abdominal pain, to diarrhea and difficulty breathing.
