Trust your instincts: If you feel that you should take your family member to the hospital, then I recommend to trust those instincts. That's what doctors and hospitals are there for. Flu in a child can be very worrisome - and it doesn't sound like he's completely better. It never hurts to have a medical professional weigh in on something as important as health. So I recommend to go. We are here on Health Tap for advice
