Nestie Nurses or been there mommies???

DS1 got the flu mist last Thursday and has been sneezing all weekend then today wakes up with a 101 fever...Do you think it is related? Does my kid have the makings of the flu???

Ugh! I never usually do the flu shot for him bc he was always home but since he is going into daycare I got it for him...WAH!!!!!!

Re: Nestie Nurses or been there mommies???

  • Domenic had a tough reaction to the flu shot.  He didn't actually get the live virus in the mist  but he still had a high fever for a couple days.  I doubt its the actual flu that he's getting but probably just reacting to the mist.  I'd just give him some motrin to control the fever and see how that goes.  
  • Yeah motrin was the 1st thing I did. Thinking the same as you...see if I can get the fever down and go from there. Just curious about the whoel flu mist thing. Thanks for the feedback.
  • I also just found this on the CDC website about the Flu-mist: 

    What side effects are associated with the nasal-spray flu vaccine LAIV (FluMist?)?

    In children, side effects can include runny nose, headache, wheezing, vomiting, muscle aches, and fever. In adults, side effects can include runny nose, headache, sore throat, and cough. Fever is not a common side effect in adults receiving the nasal-spray flu vaccine. 

  • Thanks Kel! I am going to ride it out and hope the fever goes away with the motrin. If it is still around tomorrow I will call the doc.
