COVID-19 is a pandemic which has entered its sixth month and is evolving in children. Besides respiratory problems, it is also known now for non-respiratory problems in children. We systematically searched the relevant articles up till June 2020. Just like in SARS-COV, MERS-COV, children are developing fewer symptoms in SARS-COV2 as compared to adults. Evidence suggests that the chances of children getting infected is same as adults but are less likely to develop severe symptoms. However, studies in various regions have shown children showing gastrointestinal symptoms, chilblain-like disease which some doctors are referring to as covid toes. MIS-C, whose pathophysiology is similar to Kawasaki syndrome. In this review, we focus on the symptoms arising in children and the treatment given to clear some of those symptoms.
