"12-year-old's 4-year struggle with long COVID"

Theo Huot de Saint-Albin, a 12-year-old boy, has been battling long COVID for four years, experiencing chronic migraines, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), muscle pain, extreme fatigue, and brain fog. He is one of potentially millions of children in the U.S. affected by long COVID, with symptoms lasting for months or years. Despite facing misdiagnoses and challenges, Theo received a diagnosis and is receiving treatment at the Pediatric Post-COVID-19 Rehabilitation Clinic at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, where a multidisciplinary team is helping kids manage their symptoms and return to normal life.
