Fly away!
Normally, if my kids have a cold or respiratory flu I don't take them to the doctor because it's viral and just runs its course.
However, with the Swine Flu scare, I'm not so sure.
difficult child has been home the last 2 days from school complaining of a headache and upset stomach. She had a mild fever, so I kept her home. I actually thought at first that it was anxiety from the rumor mill at school, cause she can work herself into a fever. However, tonight she's feeling worse, her fever is going up, and she's developing a cough - on top of the headache and upset stomach.
Should I take her to Urgent Care tomorrow (Saturday) if she's not feeling better? I don't want to overreact, but I don't want to under-react, either.
