1 in 4 kids and teens affected
25% of kids and teens with symptomatic Covid later reported Long Covid symptoms, per an analysis of 21 studies.
While the studies used a variety of methodologies (yielding a wide range of estimates), the most common symptoms consistently included mood changes (e.g., sadness, tension, anger, depression, and anxiety), fatigue, sleep disorders, headache, respiratory symptoms, congestion, and cognition problems such as difficulty learning and concentrating, confusion, and memory loss. Relative to control groups, those infected were also at higher risk of difficulty breathing, loss of smell and taste, and persistent fever.
