To pay close attention to those kids. I had a fever north of 103 and was coughing very hard, hacking up massive amounts of phlegm and choking on it. Coughed up tinges of blood. My doctor said I likely had the flu and told me if I ever had that severe a case to go to the hospital.

If your kids end up with pneumonia, it can get very serious very quickly.

And I’ll just speak for myself. Get a flu shot.
