So, how would you do it?

Mark, fingers crossed that your daughter will be well.
Ax, thanks for the questionnaire; it was helpful.
Brenda, yes I thought of UTI as well. I'll monitor her for the next 72 hours.
I hate being a paranoid parent.

I'd cut yourself a lot of slack there; these are strange times. I doubt she's sick with the virus, and it's very likely something else.
@mark Here's hoping, man. Please keep us posted.

And yeah, as Aqua said, be easy on yourselves.

Teledoc appt went well. Doc thinks it is not COVID so there is some encouragement. She then called her friend who just so happens to one of the leading COVID experts for the state of Louisiana and he told her that her symptoms are more likely the result of severe anxiety than anything else. She lives alone and does suffer from anxiety. Her temp is below 100 and she has not lost her sense of smell, or taste, and does not have a cough.
The doctor recommended that she quarantine for at least 5 days. Her company will let her work 100% from home when they are ill. She is scheduled to work next week, Monday. If she still feels bad then, she will just call in, and her job should be fine.
She is very highly valued at her company. I don't think she is in any danger of losing her job. So, that is cool.
I am somewhat relived, and cautiously optimistic.

That's great news Mark.
My daughter is 18, a freshman at NYU, which I think adds to my anxiety. Anyway, she slept for about 14 hours, then texted my husband "what's there to eat?" She still complains of some back ache, but it's not her kidneys. The pain is higher up on her back. Maybe she's not used to sleeping in a nice bed anymore.
