Treat symptoms: Most influenza or viral infections in children last 7-14 days and are treated symptomatically. For fever use Ibuprofen, Decongestant for nasal congestion and cough meds for cough. It is normal for them to feel tired and not want to eat. Give them lots of fluids and rest. If they develop difficulty breathing, unusual irritability, lethargy or dehydration, go to ER.
