First swine flu case has appeared in DS school... Ds has been ill last week and a half but was on and off with a temp, throwing up, diahorria etc.He went back to school this morning but still has a cough.DD3[4wks] has had what I thought was a bad cold with a high end of normal temp[37] for the last 2 days but assumed there was not a lot could be done and was her first cold. DD2 has woken up this morning with the temp, cough and hurting as she puts it. During the day dd1 has started coughing and with temp.To be honest my 2 big concerns would be DD3[4wks] with her being so young and dd1[3.6yrs] with her asthma. Little boy was sent home this morning and he is one of the boys adam plays with. Out of his class there were 10 children out of 30 missing today and apparently has been like that the last few days.
Looked at symptoms online and can tick of a few but really is it different to a normal cold/flu bug and do I need to get tamiflu and have us all confind to the house for the next week or so?
