Around 40% of the children who were diagnosed with Covid experienced at least one symptom lasting longer than two months compared to 27% of children who had not had Covid, according to a study.
42% of children with a previous Covid diagnosis reported persistent symptoms compared to 34% of the control group. Some of the most common Covid symptoms were mood swings and rashes.
Children diagnosed with Covid reported less psychological and social problems than those in the control group, which researchers theorize was because those who hadn't had Covid were more worried about getting it.
The long-term consequences of the H1N1 epidemic should receive further study according to the lead author.
The percentage of children and adolescents in the US who had Covid by February was estimated by the Centers for Disease Control.

Adults and adolescents have been the focus of most studies thus far. Long Covid in young children is documented in the largest study to date. Some of the most common symptoms of long Covid in children include headaches, mood swings, abdominal pain and fatigue, which are often experienced by healthy children. The long-term effects of the coronaviruses on the health of children regardless of whether or not they have been exposed should be the focus of future studies, according to researchers.
