Fox News
Children experiencing lingering symptoms weeks to months after initial COVID-19 infection, or so-called long COVID, most often face fatigue and headache, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said during a White House briefing.
In a recent statement from Dr. Amanda Morrow and Dr. Laura Malone, co-directors of the Kennedy Krieger Institute's Post COVID-19 Pediatric Rehabilitation Clinic, long COVID in kids can involve a wide variety of symptoms beyond fatigue and headaches, including "activity intolerance, lightheadedness, cognitive complaints resulting in difficulty with schoolwork, and mood symptoms." "We do not know the expected recovery time, but many of our patients are having improvement in their symptoms over time," the co-directors told Fox News.More Related News
