My 6 year old child has been sick with a fever and flu like symptoms since Monday..took her to the ED Wednesday and they said it could be flu but didn t test her (we have had an acute wide spread flu epeidemic in my county...I also work at the hospital and we had to quarantine a wing of the hospital due to several flu cases).the fever has become manageable without meds since last night but now she has nausea and diareah...also severe nasal congestion and ear pain..she has also been sleeping a lot...I m pushing fluids still but worried about complications from the flu...since the fever is gone and she s drinking should I have her seen again or try and wait I think out another day?
Hello, its joyfully to me to answer your question. 1st of all, any infection manifested by fever should be searched for a focus by meticulous examination as the condition may range from an easily treatable non-serious condition to a life-threatening one, but your child ailment seems to be an upper respiratory tract infection as seen from the manifestations you mentioned, and I can say obviously that subsiding of fever is a very good sign so do not worry, wait and see and keep adequate HY Chat Doctor.
