It''s not always easy to tell your child has the flu. The illness comes on fast and is more intense than a cold. Kids tend to feel worse during the first two or three days they''re sick.
Symptoms include
Some parents mistake the flu for a stomach bug. That''s because, unlike adults, children with the flu can have nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting.
A high-grade fever up to 104 degrees F
Chills and shakes with the fever
Extreme tiredness
Headache and body aches
Dry, hacking cough
Sore throat
Vomiting and belly pain
