Treatment for Long COVID includes medications, lifestyle changes, and therapies like occupational or physical therapy. For example, if a child develops infection-associated POTS or diabetes, treatments would target those conditions.

This is how you get a swarm of bots swearing children are indestructible, like if you drop them off a tall building they bounce. If you're looking for practical advice, here is the Pediatric Pacing Guide from @meactnet.bsky.social@longcovidfam.bsky.socialwww.meaction.net/resource/pac...

We are an organization that supports long Covid kids. We can assure you that the symptoms are long-term and disabling for many if not most. The pediatric research to date has been very flawed. Weā€™re expecting better research to be published in the next 6 to 9 months.
