lgm Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Sudden onset of headache and fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in Jax Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 DS has fever/chills and headache. His fever was 102+ on and off for two days, then went as high as 104 (on and off) for a couple of days. DD had sniffles and cough with a low-grade fever (99-100). If you think your child has the flu, consider giving him oscillococcinum (a homeopathic flu remedy that can short its duration) and some vitamin D3. Google "flu and vitamin D" for information. Hope it helps, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Not sure if H1N1 is what we've had this week, but if it was, then it was a sudden onset of a fever of 102.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet in Toronto Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Cough for a few days, then fever, bodyache, loss of appetite (all together). Cough continued for a couple of weeks after acute phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Fever followed by body aches, extreme fatigue, headache, and dizziness within the hour. My rough and tumble, crazy was a crying/whimpering mess within 2 hours of fever onset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoplayer Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Awful headache and fatigue, followed pretty quickly by fever. The kids' respiratory symptoms came a couple of days after the headache/fatigue/fever. I should add that the doctor suspected it to be H1N1 but did not do the test to confirm. I watched my son (15) like a hawk since he has asthma, and I increased his meds per doctor's orders, but he did okay.

melmichigan Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 The doctor we will be calling....My most fragile DD came down with a severe headache and fever last night. I wasn't sure because she hasn't really started the cough much yet. We are only 5 days from their vaccinations. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeTea Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Sudden onset fever with headache and exhaustion, followed by chest congestion, then sniffles within 24 hours. She had alternating fevers and chills for 4 days. She slept a lot. Right now (day 6) she is finally up playing and acting normal, and her only symptom is the lingering sniffles and a mild, productive cough. No chronic health issues for her, so we just pumped her full of clear liquids, chicken soup, and Tylenol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lilreds in NC Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Fever. Us too. Isaac came into our room with a high fever in the middle of the night. I don't think he had symptoms before that, but he's not really able to talk much about things like that just yet. Abbie was REALLY cranky. We thought she was just overly tired, so we went her to gymnastics, and she came home that night with a fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Sore throat and fever, followed by stuffy nose and finally a cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 My asmatic best friend had H1N1 last week and her first symptom was a terrible cough that made her chest hurt. After that, she had a sudden onset of a high fever (103.5 and she is an adult!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 First she was perfectly fine running around. 30 minutes later, she had a 103 fever and was crying because her head hurt so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenneinCA Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Exhaustion for dd11 Cough for ds9 Exhaustion for ds5 Sore throat for me Exhaustion for dh I don't know when the fevers started. No one complained about being feverish. I took temperatures to figure out what was happening. The fever was not our defining symptom.

hsmamainva Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 All four of my kids had it last week. The first thing that came was all over body aches and general blah feeling. They just wanted to lie down and rest. Then they all ran high fevers (102-103 was average). Other than that, the symptoms varied. My 7yo and 18yo had diarrhea; my 15yo and 10yo were throwing up. They all had dry coughs. It really affected my 10yo who has asthma and he needed to use a nebulizer, which he's rarely had to do. My 7yo and 15yo also came down with unexplained hives after the fever broke and they were on the mend. These lasted for a few days and subsided with Benadryl. It's a nasty bug, but, for us, the worst of it only lasted for around 3 days. But the cough and general tired feeling lasted for about a week.

Tiramisu Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Cough, followed by chills and fever within hours up to 102, maybe higher at night. She was really exhaused and would go to her bed on her own which she never did in her life. She hit her chest and it hurt. That was scary in a little one. Fever went down after two days, then went up again a day later. Then the cough got REALLY bad and diarreah started. We are on day 7 and she has a lot of nose congestion. It seems to be winding down. She was not confirmed but we saw two doctors and a nurse that were sure it was h1n1.

cylau Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Some cough, then low grade fever of 99 degrees. We were confirmed H1N1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 My Pediatrician's office never called back. :confused: Meaning my peds never got the message because there is no way knowing my DD he wouldn't have called. Luckily her oxygen levels are still above 90%, at least I have O2Sat at home so I can rest a little easier there. I've been spot checking her all day. Her fever seems to be under control so we shall see. Otherwise her headache is better she's just achy. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks to all, now I'll have a better idea what we might expect.
