Abstract
Long COVID, a term used to describe lingering symptoms following acute COVID-19 infection, is increasingly recognized as a significant concern for pediatric populations. While children are generally less affected by severe illness compared to adults, a notable subset experiences persistent symptoms that can impact their physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. This article explores the prevalence, symptoms, potential causes, and management strategies for Long COVID in children. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of awareness among healthcare providers and caregivers, the need for further research, and the development of supportive interventions to aid affected children in their recovery
