Almost 8yo is currently full of snot, resembling Rudolph and has really smelly breath so I'm suspecting tonsillitis to top it off. She has climbed into my bed, but is very restless, temperature is 38.9, she's struggling to sleep due to blocked nose. I can't help but think whatever lurgi she has, I will now get. Any tips for a quick recovery from the inevitable man-flu is much appreciated Confused

Take vitamin C and Zinc, try Vicks first defence nasal spray, stay hydrated, wash your pillow cases!
I think it's hard to avoid germs from children, hopefully at 8 she won't be coughing directly into your eyeballs but I'd be stocking up on Lemsips and not making plans for a few days.
Good luck!
