I’ve just found out there’s a case in the next town to us, and possibly more they were in contact with so they’re being tested, unsure if they’d travelled or not. This is concerning. 111 last night when I rang about my daughters sudden dry cough and tight chest, they wouldn’t test her despite her having parents with health issues that needed to know. She hadn’t traveled out of the UK so said it’s just a cough or her mild asthma that’s not triggered in years. Maybe so but I’d rather have peace of mind. They’re testing people that haven’t been abroad if they are in hospital with such symptoms.
I’m still worried if my daughter is ok, she’s 18, fine in herself just has a dry cough. Her tight chest has eased a lot now, it only lasted 2 days and it started the same time as the cough. Her coughs still lingering but she’s had no fever. I’m hoping this is all a good sign it’s not coronavirus. Maybe a different virus or maybe her mild asthma flared suddenly but it hasn't in a long time. They say children get it more mild but as she is 18 I’m clinging onto the fact technically she’s an adult so would have a fever of some sort and her tight chest has eased today.
