My child is 18 months old and he is coughing (congested). No fever, but seems to be constantly short of breath. Should we consult (COVID)?

If your child is showing symptoms such as coughing and seems to be constantly out of breath, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional. Even without a fever or recent contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, it is important to stay vigilant and seek medical advice if you are concerned. You can call the healthcare hotline to speak with a nurse for further guidance. Remember that it is recommended for all close contacts of someone who needs testing to also get tested. It is better to be cautious and ensure the health and safety of your family.
