We've been living in New Zealand, only had a mild bout of covid there, kids not exposed to bugs here. We recently arrived in the UK at my mum's and DC are at school. For the past week we have all been really sick with what I assume is flu (covid test was negative). Temperature, horrid cough, kids sleeping during the day, the works. DD(5) seemed to brighten on Wednesday but then slept most of yesterday. Both DD and DS(9) went to school today reluctantly (DH's idea). DD fell asleep there. Now tonight they seem worse again, temperatures, coughs, DD fell asleep on the way home etc.
We haven't had flu like this before. We don't have a GP here yet. I'm a bit worried. Should I call NHS Direct tomorrow or does it just sound like bad flu that is doing the rounds? I don't have a mums/school network to rely on. Thanks x
