I was scared to death that it was Swine Flu but it's not. The doctor said that with Swine Flu they will have a constant fever. I would check your son out to be sure.I would, but here's the problem.
First, if he DOESN'T have 'swine flu', he will most likely be exposed to it, or to a more virulent strain if I do take him into ER (or the pediatrician). As long as he's not very sick, he's better off staying at home.
Second, aside from that first day, he has only had a low-grade fever and he hasn't felt warm today, so HOPEFULLY, he's kicking whatever it is that he has.
I've been loading him down with vitamin C in his drinks, and giving him a little piece of my 'Airborne' tablets in his bottle every so often. Of course I'm worried, but I'm just counting on the idea that most people don't get super sick.
