He is old enough that we are suppose to call at 103, which we did. He went to the emergency room and has the Flu, strain A. He is going to his pediatritian today.
We are getting conflicting information. Our pediatritian said to keep meds to a certain level until he is older then 2, the hospital said we were under dosing him by half because of his weight. So we are checking on that.
The hospital said no Tamiflu for anyone under 2, the peditrician said there was no reason to see him as long as he was on Tamiflu. We told them that he was not, they said to bring him in. Internet info says Tamflu is fine over 1 (actually fine with very specific dosages under 1) but only for treatment of symptoms.
So he is going to see his peditritian today. His fever was down to 101.4 this morning, a very nice drop probably aided by doubling the amount of Tylenol he got. He will have a lot of cuddle time with his Dad.
We figure that the two of us have been dealing with a mild version of the flu and not a cold since we both got the chills this weekend. We all got the vaccine so hopefully that means a much less severe round with the flu then without the vaccine.
Working on some Lapsang and work.
