Illness update:

Mostly viral coughs and fever. Fever >72 hrs, and not improving, call Dr. If wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain with cough, or cough lasting 2 wks or >, to be seen same day as those symptoms occur.

Also have a few with nausea, with or without vomiting, lasting 24-48 hrs= viral. Force small, frequent clear liquids and advance diet as tolerated, starting with soft, bland foods. Dehydration concern if your child has continued vomiting their fluid intake, and has not produced urine in 8 hrs. Dr. call is advised at that time.
