I think it is finally gone. We took him to the Dr. yesterday and they confirmed it was Influenza A. He said we should be through the worst of it and it just needs to run its course. For those of you that have had experience with this type of flu, how long does it take before the little guy will get his energy back. He can't muster up the strength to do anything.

The youngest caught it first but she and her sister both got started on Tamiflu and got over it pretty quickly. Big sis only had sniffles and a cough with fever for one day. DH and I were the walking dead for the better part of a week. Not fun -------------------- Cary

So, anyone who's had the flu should know what your poor son is going through. That doesn't make it any easier to deal with though. Glad he's feeling better and hope he's fully recovered very soon. -------------------- Ed is husband to Lisa (since 1983) Dad to Ricky, John, Erin and Kaitlin The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

Jake is 16 months and was the only one that got the flu shot. He got it the worst. I must say I'm a little disappointed that the flu shot did not help him at all.

The throat is swollen and the pain is worse on empty swallowing; the sneezing is excessive, shaking the whole body. Shudderings , with gooseflesh chills creeping upwards, are also prominent symptoms. Frontal headache, dryness of mouth, without thirst and cough, worse on lying down, are additional symptoms. It suits well many cases of the catarrhal form of grippe; other remedies having sneezing are Cyclamen and Euphorbia.
