Most importantly, keep your child at home and minimize contact with others. Symptoms to look out (which require emergency medical care) include: - Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath - Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen - Sudden dizziness - Confusion - Severe or persistent vomiting - Decreased or no movement/lethargic Otherwise, plenty of rest and fluid is important to aid in your child’s recovery.
