With any illness that makes a child or baby not feel themselves, hydration can be tough. When children don’t feel well, they don’t eat and drink well. While as a provider, I do not get concerned when children’s appetites decrease, I do get concerned if parents are having difficulty getting fluids in their kids or their kids cannot keep fluids down due to frequent vomiting. 

What is the flu? How is it transmitted? How can you tackle it at home and when do you need to seek a professional medical opinion? There are many different strands of the flu that circulate each year, but the most common are Influenza A and Influenza B.
