Dd who is 2.10 is having the flu nasal spray on Saturday.
Has anyone experienced their little ones having side effects from it at all?

My 2.10 DS had his last Saturday for the first time and doesn't seem to have any side effects.

My kids get them every year and have all been fine after. Didn't even get sleepier which was a shame

Just a slight runny nose in my 2.5yo. Her usual self otherwise.

GoJohnnyGoGoGoGo · 10/10/2018 22:32

Both of mine have had them every year without any issues

Dgd had her last week, she is 2.5 other than a slightly runny nose nothing, her usual happy self.

Ds7 has what seems like a slight cold but I can't rule out that he has caught a cold from elsewhere coincidentally.

Last year aged 4 my DS would not stop unnecessary sniffing for weeks after.

So we nearly had the side affect of me knocking his block off Grin

My 3 year old last year had a stuffy nose and a slight fever (both only lasted 24 hours).
