Between New Town's changing weather and classroom exposure, seasonal flu hits children hard, leaving parents worried about when to seek medical help.
Understanding flu management helps you care for your child effectively:
→ High fever above 102°F lasting beyond 3 days, difficulty breathing, or persistent vomiting requires immediate pediatric evaluation.
→ Antiviral medications work best when started within 48 hours of symptom onset for high-risk children.
→ Keep your child hydrated with fluids, provide rest, and use age-appropriate fever reducers as recommended.
→ Annual flu vaccination reduces severity even if your child still catches flu; protect infants through family vaccination.
