See doctor: There are many diseases that can be passed from animals to humans. It's best to take your 8-yo to the doctor to be evaluated. If you are concerned about recent incidents of h3n2 virus it has been identified in select areas and your child needs to have a swab to confirm it.

Swine flu: There have been reports of over a hundred cases of a new strain of swine flu caught at fairs. The symptoms seem to be milder and not as sever as the swine flu of 2009.
