Children who become ill with coronavirus rarely experience long-term symptoms, with most recovering in less than a week, research suggests.
King s College London scientists say that while a small group may experience prolonged illness, they were reassured that number was low.
Headaches and tiredness were the most common symptoms seen.
A Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health expert said the data reflected what doctors saw in clinics.

Many who are infected do not develop symptoms and those that do, tend to have a mild illness.
