On Thursday, my 5yo DS woke up with a fever. Over the course of the day it never went above 101.2. The only thing he complained of is a headache. He was tired and mopey and whiny. He woke up the next day fever free and normal.
Then on Sunday 3yo DD woke up with a fever. Hers ended up climbing to 103.4. Same as DS, mopey and whiny and complained of headache. She woke up this morning fine.
Neither had a runny nose, congestion, cough, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea. Just the fever and headache. For one day. So far my 7yo hasn't gotten it.
The weirdest part, though, is that my step-sister was just diagnosed with the flu today (don't know which strain). We saw her on Wednesday for a family dinner and every one was fine. On Friday, I picked her up from school because she felt bad. And we had dinner again on Saturday, although she mostly just stayd in her room. Could my kids have had the flu for one day? Coincidence?
