The Nurses flow sheet revealed no harm or abuse on admission. The final hospital diagnosis revealed suspected COVID-19, hyperglycemia, a mixed acid balance, and pneumonitis. Child\342\200\231s parent followed up with a neuro doctor who revealed it possible food allergies played a role and the Rhino Virus may have lingered in the child\342\200\231s system impacting the airway.
