DD has a low fever <101, sore throat and has just been exhausted and miserable since friday. It's moving into her nose but she doesn't seem worse just not better (so I'm thinking not strep?). She's rarely been sick (she's only ever had mild colds) and when she is I see improvement quickly. I'm thinking it's just a virus or cold that we need to let run its course? Is that what it sounds like to you? Is it time to take her to pedi since it's been 3 full days and we aren't seeing improvement or are they just going to tell me to wait it out?
She also got the flu-mist on Wednesday so I'm wondering if she got the flu from that?

UGH! I'm really wondering because none of us seem to be getting sick too and from what I read about the flu-mist, it can give the recipient (albeit rarely) some mild flu-like symptoms but she wouldn't be contagious. Dang! I should have followed my instincts and not given her the vax until AFTER her b-day.
