Daughter has had suspected swine flu for a week now - temp mostly 38-39.5, bad cough, blocked nose, gets shivery when has temperature, but no real aches and pains or upset stomach.
Thing is, though the temperature has lessened in frequency, down to needing Ibuprofen once a day now, not three times, and it doesn't get over low 38s, it's still there. This is her eigth day with it.
The official website says to take to the doctor if symptoms are getting worse after seven days, which they aren't, really.
My worry is that it isn't swine flu but something else like maybe a urine infection, which is being masked by the cough and the snotty nose.
So, anyway, back to the original question. How long did your swine flu temperature last? anyone, especially those with kids, have experience of it longer than a week?
Many thanks.
