Yes: It sounds as if you and your doctor have everything under control. Continue supportive care with fluids, rest, and mom's love while his body fights the flu with the help of tamiflu (oseltamivir). A fever can make a person fell terrible, but it is even tougher on the virus. That's why our bodies use fever to help fight infections like flu. Call your doctor if your son's temperature goes over 104. Hang in there!

Low risk age: The vulnerable group for flu includes the elderly, the weak due to illness and some kids with immune problems.Your kis doesn't fit this.I had one in the office last yr with a 106 temp who did just fine with fluids rest and tamiflu (oseltamivir).Keep working with the kid and make sure he drinks enough to pee every 6 hours. Have him rechecked if the temp does not setttle down before the weekend or he is not voidn.
