A member asked:
Does my child need hospitalization when infected with swine flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly: Hospitalization is required when a patient needs treatments or a level of observation/care not available at home. Some kids with this flu handle this better than many adults. Without a better description of the kids status/intensity of illness little more can be offered in response.
