Need to take the kids to the doctor. Symptoms don't match covid but im sure theyll want to test them. How is that being done? Long swab up the nose? Not sure if that's the best for their mental health and might reconsider the doctor for a day.

There are saliva swabs that would be a much better option for the kid. Call the doc and see what their process is.

As mentioned above, call and see what options they have.

My daughter (6) had to get swabbed twice for her tonsillectomy. My son has a cold and his pediatrician did a rapid test (saliva) so we could quickly confirm a negative test for school (swabs can take up to 7 days to get results).

Pediatrician said a test was needed for them to return to school even though she didn't seem to think it was needed. They only offered the nasal swab so said no thanks. Anybody know of somewhere local that will do the mouth swab?

My 4 year old and I got tested yesterday. He didn't even tear up. "They tickled my brain hahaha."

Their mental health can't handle a nasal swab?
Thoughts and prayers.

My kid (almost 4) got tested this week. Up the nose. Didn't bother him at all.
