Does my child have the flu or COVID-19? Here’s what to look for and how antiviral hand sanitizer lessens the spread of germs

Early symptoms of COVID-19 and seasonal flu can be different in children. Here’s how to know the difference, and keep them safe with proper use of antiviral hand sanitizer and handheld room foggers

Seasonal flu and COVID-19 share these symptoms:

• Fever* or feeling feverish
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Muscle or body aches
• Headaches
• Fatigue 
• Vomiting and diarrhea is more common in children than adults

*Important: Not everyone with the flu will have a fever.

COVID-19 has these particular symptoms

• shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• new loss of taste or smell

Make sure you keep safe from germs and illness by using an antiviral 70% alcohol hand sanitizer often throughout the day. Use a handheld room fogger as well to disinfect a space from germs. Do call your doctor when children have a fever, cough, sore throat, or any type of trouble breathing, eating, or sleeping. 

To help lessen the spread of COVID-19 and keep safe from germs, use OmniProtect Sanitizing Spray – a 70% alcohol hand sanitizer in a convenient aerosol canister that you can take with you wherever you go.
