Supportive care: Antibiotics are not effective for the flu virus, but she should take them if her physician prescribed. Keep breastfeeding as usual, or bottle feeding if this is the case. Smaller bottles will he helpful. Keep an eye on her breathing, watching for fast breathing or shortness of breathe. She's too little for motrin now. I would not give tylenol (acetaminophen) either without the advice of your pediatrician.
