For those whose kids had covid recently, what were their symptoms? Asking specifically about kids age 3-8 who are unvaccinated. (For the record we are planning to vaccinate the kids over 5 very soon.) Thanks!

Going to answer in case anyone else wants to know what a vaccinated case looked like: My child who is fully vaccinated (6) a month ago, just got covid. scratchy throat for a couple days. painful enough to ask for medicine but not painful enough to be in a bad mood.

No fever, maybe very minor nasal congestion for a day or two, but not really an issue at all.

Slept, ate, played normally (but at home).

She never had COVID before to our knowledge.

Sorry to disappoint but most kids not vaccinated are getting very similar cases. This is what caused me not to want to vaccinate my kids or booster myself.

You're not disappointing me.

I was clarifying my one data point as being a vaccinated child. I don't have any unvaccinated children.

It's a data point like everyone else's data points. I'm also interested in reading what the unvaccinated cases are looking like.

Speaking to mothers in my kid's class about specifics with their kids who are unvaccinated, my child's case is substantially more mild, but it is a small class so that "data" is only worth so much. My child's classmates are having full blown although mild colds. My child had nothing that even reached that level compared to what colds normally look like for her.

I was happy with our choice to vaccinate. It was the right choice for us.

Very weird. Started off with fever and pain in one ankle. Dc could barely walk from pain. The next day ankle pain disappeared and all the typical cold symptoms came out. Fever lasted about 2 days.

7 year old, unvaccinated, scratchy throat for 1-2 days, followed after a couple of days by a runny/blocked nose. No fever and felt very well in herself throughout, just wishing she could go out and play/go to school.

That's how most unvaccinated kids are getting it also, no difference at all. As I wrote above, some of my kids had zero symptoms, others had mild congestion (as in needing to blow nose). No fever for anyone bh. No one asked for medicine.

I'm so glad to hear that. Did your kids have COVID before? Maybe they did get immunity from those previous exposures.

Regardless, I'm glad your little ones felt ok and I'm sure it made your work easier too.

Literally out of curiosity, did they get COVID before or was this the first time?

(I'm not trying to "make a point" to anyone with this question. It's for myself.)

All no vaccine and no prior Covid. Three (5, 7, 12) had vomiting for 4-6 hrs followed by fever for 1 day for three of them, some just had fever for 2 days (5 kids total).

Interesting. 2 of my kids had diarrhea and vomiting 2 weeks ago, figured it was a stomach bug, didn’t even think to test for covid. Now I’m wondering.

He never had it. One of my other kids had it asympomatic last year but this was the first time for the rest of us (vaxxed husband and I got it too and felt much worse!).
