Kids and the Flu!
As a parent it is very difficult to have your little ones with the flu. My kids are so small that I feel so helpless when they are sick. Dan II has been very ill for the last 3-4 days. He was very congested and could not sleep very well because he could not through his nose. Sometimes the flu comes on so strong that sometimes ear infections follow and that is exactly what happened to my little baby.
He had a sore throat, low grade fever, nasal and chest congestion, ear pain, hungry and tired but could not do either because of his congestion and sore throat. As a parent this is what drains us, not being able to comfort them and not being able to take their aches and pains away.
Taking him into the bathroom while the hot water was running seemed to help with his congestion a lot. The new “Tylenol Plus Cold” helps a lot.
His Doctor prescribed antibiotics and ear drops and that is helping also.
I am happy he is playing and smiling now. God knows I’ve missed that smile!
