Are Persistent Fever, Nose Congestion And Cough In Children Symptoms Of Flu?
Brief Answer:
Fever
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
I agree that this is a viral illness. Whether or not it is the flu can't be fully determined without a flu test. However, in either case, he is already on day #4 of the ilness and most viral illnesses, including flu, will resolve in 7-10 days.
Temperature control, hydration, and rest, is the treatment for this. Over the next few days you will likely note improvement as the illness resolves.
