Colds during Covid pandemic?

Question

My 2.5 yr old has her first cold in forever and I am obviously freaking out that it’s Covid. She has a stuffy, runny nose but no fever. Her rapid Covid test came back negative, but I know they can miss cases. So my question to orher moms- have your kids had non-Covid colds recently? Should I stop freaking out?

Answer

Both my kids just went through this. 
Colds are completely normal! And they last almost 2 weeks from the beginning of the stuffy nose until it’s all gone. 
Neither of my kids had covid. I was more worried about strep because their dad got strep right before they got sick. So I was talking with their pediatrician a bit and he wasn’t concerned for either strep or covid. 
It’s been a week and they are both finally towards the end of it. They still have runny nose but no more coughing

Answer

Yes. My son & both had a cold 2 weeks ago. Tested negative for COVID.
