Is An ER Visit Advisable For A Child With Flu Symptoms?
My 4 year old daughter has flu like symptoms; cough, runny nose, no energy, very tired, irritable, no fever, no appetite.. she has been sleeping on and off for the past four days and we have been giving her Tylenol and ibuprofen for the last four days. Would you recommend taking her to urgent care?
