Last night middle son wasn’t feel well he started having a fever. Then this morning his big sister started to not feel way. With two kids don’t feeling well and a thermometer that doesn’t work so well. I woke my husband up just say Of 10am. Good thing to we took the kids into the walk in office and they did the kids temps which was 101. They did the flu and strep test. Came back that our daughter has flu B. Son tested negative for both but it’s probably because they don’t get a good swop with him. So with his symptoms they said that a lone calls for the flu. Okay great! They said we could treat him with meds like tame flu and I said no just treat them as need with fever reduced, fluids and rest. The doctor agreed! Wish us luck that the youngest doesn’t get it and so doesn’t the rest of the house. Husband called out of work to help. It’s all hands on deck!

@Nevena83 that happens some times. Not every family environment is like that where everyone gets sick. It all comes down to your immune system

Ick, so sorry. Hope it passes quickly for them both, and that the little one doesn't get it. It's hard not to get it, when your the one(s) having to take care of people with it.

Wash hands and whatever they touch like crazy. Pretty much just got to leave the rest to our immune systems. Fever are under control just waiting for them to break.

@Courtlynn everything when it comes to be sick had to do with immune system so it all spends on what you got and your body doing this job.
