Is COVID-19 testing available at your clinic?Yes, we offer COVID-19 testing for our patients who meet the criteria for testing based on current public health guidelines. Please contact our clinic to schedule a testing appointment or to discuss testing options for your child.

What should I do if my child tests positive for COVID-19?If your child tests positive for COVID-19, it's essential to follow the guidance provided by public health authorities. Recently, the CDC has shifted its COVID-19 guidelines toward managing it like other respiratory viruses such as the flu or RSV. If you test positive for COVID-19, you should stay home and avoid contact with others until symptoms improve and you’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours. If asymptomatic, there’s no need to isolate, but wearing a mask and keeping distance from others for five days is recommended to reduce transmission risks. If your child has mild symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, cough, or fatigue, you can help manage their symptoms by ensuring they get plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and providing over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol or Motrin (for infants 6 months and older).
-
When should I seek medical attention for my child with COVID-19?You should seek medical attention for your child with COVID-19 if they experience severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain or pressure, confusion, inability to stay awake, bluish lips or face, or dehydration. Additionally, if your child has underlying medical conditions or is at high risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms, please contact us for additional guidance.

Can my child receive monoclonal antibody treatment or antiviral treatment for COVID-19?Monoclonal antibody treatment is only considered for children who are at high risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms and meet certain criteria outlined by public health authorities. We do not offer such treatment in our office. As of the current CDC guidelines, the antiviral medications recommended for treating COVID-19 in children include remdesivir and oral antiviral medications such as molnupiravir. These medications are approved for emergency use authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of COVID-19 in certain populations, including those who are at high risk of developing severe symptoms and meet certain criteria outlined by public health authorities. The decision to prescribe antiviral medication is based on various factors, including the child's age, underlying medical conditions, and the severity of their illness.
