Respiratory Symptoms
After a fever presents itself, a child with the flue will likely experience the following respiratory symptoms: or stuffy nose, a sore throat, dry cough, and discomfort in the chest. It is these respiratory symptoms that lead to confusion between the flu and a cold. However, more often than not these symptoms are more severe when a person is suffering from the flu compared to when they have a cold. If your child presents with a persistent dry cough and is wheezing, seek out medical attention.
