I'm sure there is massive over-diagnosis of SF going on due to over-cautious doctors doing telephone consultations.

Still not sure whether ds had it. If you had a LAB CONFIRMED case (or your dc's did) tell me about:

  • your symptoms
  • how it started
  • how long it all lasted

ds (diagnosed over the phone but by way of an example)

  • 36 hours of very high temp, started with shivers
  • no D&V
  • No cough
  • lethargic
  • loss of appetite
  • slightly runny nose
  • complained of some aches.

Might help some of us who aren't convinced by phone diagnoses work out whether it was SF or not...in an unscientific way!
