Children suffer from the consequences of Corona
Long Covid: That’s how bad the symptoms are in an eight-year-old
Cases of Long Covid have also been found in children and adolescents.
What was considered unlikely for a long time is now becoming a verifiable reality: Children and adolescents also occasionally suffer from long covid after a corona disease. Sophie is only eight years old and is currently fighting her way back to life.
Dizziness, nausea and severe mobility restrictions: little Sophie, 8, suffers from Long Covid. In February 2021, she contracted Corona. At first she seemed to be able to survive the infection well. After a few weeks, however, the student began to experience worrying symptoms.
Corona infection can cause long-term severe symptoms in children too
A nasty surprise that nobody would have expected at the time. For a long time, children and adolescents were considered to be inconspicuous in the follow-up care of the disease, which, as a rule, rarely showed severe progressions. Sophie’s case, however, shows how immense the effects can be in childhood. You can see how bravely the girl comes back to life step by step in this RTL video.
