Signs and symptoms that your baby/child has the flu
* Cough
* Sore throat
* Vomiting (throwing up) or diarrhea
* Headache, or muscle or body aches
* Fever (38°C or above), chills or body shakes.
* Being very tired or sleepy (also called fatigue)
(Note: Not everyone who has the flu has a fever.)
The flu often comes on quickly. Fever and most other signs and symptoms can last a week or longer. While your baby can’t tell you how they’re feeling, babies who have the flu often are sicker, fussier and seem more uncomfortable and unhappy than babies with a common cold.
