A mum is warning parents about life-changing side-effect from having Covid that she says "no one is taking seriously". But Dawn Kafi says since son Malisse tested positive for coronavirus, the youngster has been left with a debilitating disorder that has left him unable to eat as normal and saw the weight drop off, reports the Liverpool Echo.Earlier this week, experts said that some children had developed fussy eating habits after having Covid, due to to parosmia - a disorder in which people experience strange and often unpleasant smell distortions.The Liverpool mum says the condition can 'ruin lives' and is a lot more serious than a simple case of being fussy.Dawn says Malisse tested positive for Covid back in September and lost his sense of taste and smell, but it was so bad that 'everything was making him vomit'.Malisse was eventually diagnosed with parosmia and deteriorated in health as he lost 2kg of weight in just two days.

Dawn has since told the LiverpoolEcho that Malisse is still unwell four months on from testing positive for Covid, and is unable to eat proper foods.

She said: "This isn't a case of fussy eating, there's people out there laughing saying children are being fussy and it's very upsetting."Malisse is still very limited to his foods and he's still unwell.

He's got liver damage because of the starvation, it should be taken more seriously than just labelled as fussy eating."It's a health condition, not just distorted taste or smell, it's life-changing.

Community members urged to 'wake up' and help promote safety for students in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA - Senseless violence in the City of Philadelphia has many on edge. This is especially the case after a 12-year-old girl was shot in a drive-by shooting in North Philadelphia on Tuesday while walking home from school with her younger brother. So far, police have not made any arrests and no suspects have been announced. The school district said it is in constant contact with police and will continue to work towards its Safe Path Program, but with more than 200 schools in the district, they need support and help from the community. FOX 29 spoke to Jose Ortiz, a parent who now walks his son home from the Feltonville School of Arts and Science. RELATED: 'Stay on the line': Philadelphia Police Commissioner responds to concern of long 911 wait timesOrtiz's son was absent on the day of the shooting, but that would have been the typical route he took on his commute home. "It's crazy because he missed that day that it happened and he walks actually through that same light it happened at," Ortiz said. "Yesterday, he was kind of scared to walk home by himself, so I came and picked him up." The safety of local children walking to and from school has become a growing concern. Chief Keven Bethel, a Special Advisor on School Safety for the School District of Philadelphia, appeared on Good Day Philadelphia.
