A healthy 15-year-old, experiencing respiratory distress nine days post-diagnosis, revealed bilateral vocal cord immobility. Researchers suggest it as a nervous system-related complication of the virus. Published in Pediatrics, the case highlights the importance of considering such complications in children with breathing or swallowing issues post-COVID-19.
