DS has been really poorly since Sunday with what I think is 'flu, he literally hasn't been off the sofa since Sunday night, he has all the cold type symptoms, belly ache, head ahce, ear ache, back ache, hip ache, everything ache....! Really bad hacking cough that is only seeming to get worse (he can barely talk with out setting another bout off), and a high temp, I've been dosing out the calpol and cough mixture since Sunday, he has had nothing to eat since then, but I have been pouring sweetened fruit juice down him like there is no tomorrow.
I haven't taken him to the doctors because I don't think there is anything they can/will do, and to take him out when he is as poorly as he is seems really unfair, but is there anything they can do? Or that I can do from home anyway?
Thanks

Can the doctor really not do anything for the 'flu in a 4 year old?
