According to researchers at King's College, there is a small percentage of children who will experience persistent symptoms, but these are small numbers.

The most common symptoms in those children were not severe and included fatigue and headaches.

An expert from the Association of Pediatricians in the UK reinforced the findings and said they were in line with what treating doctors see in clinics.

Compared to adults, corona is a less dangerous disease for children.

Many children who become infected with the virus do not develop symptoms at all, and those who do tend to develop a mild illness.

Only a small percentage of children who become infected with corona will suffer from long-term symptoms.

The new study has already been peer-reviewed and published in the important journal The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health journal.

The aim of the researchers was to understand how corona affects children compared to other common respiratory diseases.

And is based on data reported by parents and caregivers in a research app used for research purposes across the UK.

The study examined data from 1,734 children aged 5-17 who became infected in Corona and developed symptoms between September 2020 and February 2021. Less than 1 in 20 children had symptoms that lasted four weeks or more and only one in 50 children experienced symptoms that persisted even after 8 weeks of infection.

Forte consolation ahead of the opening of the questionable school year.

On average, the older children were sick for a slightly longer time than primary school-aged children: 12-12 year olds usually took a week to recover, whereas among 5-11 year olds the disease usually passed after only 5 days.

The most reported symptoms among the children were as mentioned fatigue and headaches and alongside them also reported sore throat and loss of sense of smell.

However, there were no reports of neurological symptoms in children such as seizures or other seizures.

"The bottom line of this study is this: Can children have persistent corona symptoms? Yes, but it is not common and they too will recover over time," said Dr. Emma Duncan, a professor of clinical endocrinology at King's College. "Children sometimes have symptoms. Continued also due to other diseases. "
