My wife has the, what seem like, beginning symptoms of the flu. She is achy, headache, low fever, and nausea earlier that went away after she vomited. She has had no appetite and now has a red rash around her eyes. She has taken some OTC stuff...well she is taking it now. How concerned should we be about the rash around her eyes?
