I'm pretty convinced I had the junk in November 2019 (I was flying back and forth to San Francisco and Houston for work). It was hell when the coughing fits started. I'm more than a little worried right now. Could be nothing, but I'm preparing for the worst.

Take some fresh baking soda and put it on a plate.
Wet a toothbrush and put it in the baking soda.
Run the toothbrush under running water very quickly, just to wet the baking soda, but not enough to rinse it off.
Then brush your son's tongue to remove the white film which is there. This is one of the places where the virus lives and multiply, while it doses your son with it's viral attack.
Following this procedure will help lessen the severity of the infection and allow the body the needed time to produce anti-bodies to fight it.
Oh I love this. Never thought about it.
