Both of my children (age 7 and 10) have a terrible wet cough, stuffy nose, headache, dizziness and body temperature around 97 (normally they are closer to 99). They both had their flu shot this year. Does this sound like the flu or some other virus? They both feel miserable.
Hi... by what you say I feel both your kids are down with a viral upper respiratory infection. Usually cough and cold or the predominant symptoms along with runny nose and low grade temperature. Usually this sort of symptoms is 95% of the times viral in origin in kids. You can use Paracetamol for fever in the appropriate dose suggested on the back and for cough and cold you can use any over-the-counter licensed antiallergics. Stuffy nose can be relieved by using Saline nasal Chat Doctor. Regards -
