It’s pretty perplexing that a child can be perfectly fine one minute and spike a fever the next. That’s how quickly the
flu bug can attack. The good thing is flu symptoms usually subside within 2-5
days. The bad thing is influenza in children is serious. It can lead to
pneumonia.

Body temperature higher than normal is known as fever. If your child suddenly
spikes a fever from 101-104 degrees Fahrenheit, it could be influenza.
Disregard the old methods like alcohol rubs or cold baths. This could bring on
chills.

Fever needs to do its work of fighting infection. At the same time, high-grade fever can be dangerous. Sponging the child with lukewarm water helps send
fever out of the danger zone.

Headaches, muscle aches, aching all over are signs of the flu. Encourage
your child to get up and walk about the room 2-3 times daily. This may be a
good time to change sweaty, wrinkled sheets.

Fever helps fight flu germs and stops them from spreading. Invaders that
cause infection live longer when body temperature is normal. In order to raise temperature, the body rapidly contracts
and relaxes its muscles. These actions can also bring on chills.

Extreme tiredness is among signs of the flu. Fatigue can hang-on for several
weeks after other flu symptoms subside.

The immune system expends the majority of its energy combating the flu
virus. The body must engage white blood cells to join the fight against
influenza. In consequence, your child loses muscular strength, which hinders
the body’s ability to move around.
