Honestly I do especially if it's a child.
I wouldn't feel worried if it's me who get sick because I know exactly how I feel and I can manage myself.
Niece's kid complained tonight of not feeling well before dinner. I placed my palm at his forehead to check if he's hot and I notice he was somehow so I looked for the thermometer to determine the child's temperature. It registered at 37.6°C. He also said he's feeling a mild headache. Her mother gave him paracetamol before he went to bed. After 4 hours my niece noticed that his temp rise again and that time was 38.8°C. She gave him another dose of paracetamol. Now I can't return to sleep and it's already past 3 in the morning. I think I'll just monitor the kid's condition until daylight comes to see if we need to go for check up.

No as a mom I don’t worry when my kids get sick or when anyone gets sick. Why because it’s part of life people will get sick. Yes I don’t want them not well and I will do what I can for those close to me to make them feel better but that’s it. If I worry then all it does is cause stress.

Unless it's my daughter that gets sick I wouldn't know about it. We haven't seen any of our family since Covid started.
I hope your relative feels better very soon. I hate it when a kid is sick.
