Dr Laurence Dorman, a GP who's also chair of the Royal College of Practitioners in Northern Ireland, has also recently spoken up about these cold-like symptoms appearing in kids.'The symptoms are different in children and with this new variant, some people are reporting more coryza, the medical term for cold-like symptoms, rather than flu.
'Coryza is more runny noses and less serious symptoms whereas we know from the very first Alpha wave that people were presenting with more classic flu symptoms and were aching and sore. 'It's very difficult with children as temperatures can be quite common in that age group. The big thing we ask people to do is to trust their instincts.
