Is Flu Contagious And What Are Its Symptoms?
My 11 month old daughter, who has had a flu shot, was playing at a friends house Sunday. Today my friend took her child to the dr with a fever and a nasal swab said she had the flu. Can my daughter get the flu? If so, how long does it take for the symptoms and what should I watch for or what should I do? Also, can my daughter be contagious now? Do I need to keep her from other children?

Hello,
Flu usually spread by nasal discharge, so it would be better if contact is avoided.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
