Researchers report on emerging treatment for children with long COVID and recurrent fever

Researchers at National Jewish Health have found that a subset of children suffering recurring fevers as a result of long COVID-19 have benefited from a daily medication treatment commonly used for gout and periodic fever syndrome. Using the drug colchicine, researchers saw rapid improvement not only in their fevers but also with other long COVID symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, and achiness. The case study is published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
