Not All Children Who Get COVID-19 Immediately Recover - NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

The coronavirus might affect children differently than it does adults but doctors said they're seeing a trend among kids who recover.

They said doctors believe she's dealing with post-viral fatigue, a common condition that can happen after viral infections.

Cook Children's Infectious Disease Doctor Nicolas Rister did not treat Savannah but said experts wondered whether they'd see an increase in cases of chronic fatigue syndrome or post-viral fatigue.

They're used to training, using their bodies and minds as well, so when they're disrupted for a couple weeks, it's very noticeable and it could take many weeks to get back to normal," said Rister.

Doctors said healthy eating, exercise and multi-vitamins can sometimes help children recover from post-viral fatigue.
