How long did the fever generally last when your kids had it? Also, how did your child eat or drink? We just got dx today and are on day 2 of fever...his throat hurts so bad that I cant get him to eat anything or do take his medicine. I have a call in to the on-call doc, just waiting to hear back.
Re: A question for those with H1N1 experience
Alissa has had it since Saturday. The nurse said it can hang on for 3-5 days. She's been eating and drinking fine. She had a mild sore throat on Sat but hasn't complained of it since.
Can you get some motrin in him? Perhaps have him suck on a popsicle to sort of numb this throat a bit so he will take some motrin. That should help his throat.
Hope he feels better soon!
