So my son has a stuffy nose and is sneezing. Normally I wouldn’t run him to the doctor but should I because of all this flu stuff going around?
@starienite, trust me you’ll know if he has the flu. He will suddenly spike a fever over 100 and be almost lethargic in that he won’t want to move or do anything, vomiting, etc.
the increase in baby deaths is due to parents thinking the flu will just go away, and never taking them to the hospital to get their symptoms treated, like anti nausea meds and fluids.
We had to rush my son to the Er a couple weeks ago because he woke up from a nap with a 103 fever and vomiting.
@lexirosex3, I know it freaks me out. I don’t want to leave the house anymore.
@sarinasmomma, thanks. I’ll give him some when he gets home from school.
If he starts coughing I would. Aside from sneezing that’s what my daughter had and she has RSV. Sounds like rn it may just be a cold or allergies. Give him some allergy meds and see how that works!
Do what you feel in your heart. You’re his mother and know what’s best for him hun, The flu has everyone like this because of the increase in deaths of children.
You are right. The flu just really has me freaking out. I don’t want anyone to get sick. The baby has an appointment tomorrow and I’m I’m dreading going there. He is not sick, it is for his 15months check up. @candacelouise,
@fasciamom, thank you. You made me feel better. I hope your little guy is doing better.
