My son has influenza a, been fever free since tues and feeling back to normal except a lingering cough. is it safe for him to be around other people ?

Depends: It is nice he is fever free but don't assume the virus has left his secretions. Anyone with flu is considered contagious for a minimum of 7 days after first fever, whether they take an antiviral or not. The presence of a cough signals that his airborne cough droplets may stillpass the germ.
