Flu, i know i can pass it on to my kids. i am more worried about my 3 month old baby, if i pass it on to her, how will doctors help her fight it off, what to do?

Prescription med: There is a prescription for the flu in babies. Try your best to not infect her. It will be hard since you live in the same house. Have her seen at the beginning of any symptoms, such as fever with cough, runny or stuffy nose.
