Just checking, you can't have SF without a temperature, can you?

Ds1 has had a hacking cough for at least 3 days now, coldy, feeling rotten etc. He has gone to school but it is still quite bad. No temp at all really.

I feel like I am getting the cough too since Monday but have suppressed it, and just feel very bunged up, ears hurt a bit, bit of a headache etc. I also feel quite sick since yesterday and have no appetite.

I wondered if it might be SF - several of the mums have had it but also I think there is probably a nasty cough/cold virus going round as well...many of the children are coughing I think.

So just checking really. I don't normally feel this sicky with a cold iyswim.

Not that I want to take tamiflu anwyay but interesting to compare symptoms with those who have ahd SF.

Er, she's sprawled on the soaf giggling at Top Gear on Dave. She still has a sore throat and what seems to be a pretty bad cold, but the wheezing, headache, stomach ache and nausea have gone and she still has no temperature. So perhaps not flu after all...

Thanks for asking.

soaf? Perhaps she's couching on the soaf.
