Is it flu or just your run of the mill cold?

Yesterday Taufik began sneezing. I suspect he caught whatever disease Mai had when he had a close encounter with her at the playground. Tonight, Taufik is down with low grade fever, runny nose and slight cough. He is off to bed as we speak. I had whipped out my stethoscope to check his lungs and so far they sound clear. InshaAllah, his asthma is not going to be affected too badly.
(Will replace picture with Taufik's as soon as I catch him snuffling into a tissue)

And to think that we are due to fly off to Malaysia on Tuesday. I think I might probably have to delay the flight somewhat. The cats at Ampang would absolutely aggravate his lungs problem.

Once again Taufik will miss school.

The thing is, is it flu or just the cold?

To find out if your child has the flu or just the cold, check out what Parent Center has to say, my ultimate child resource by clicking on flu or cold.
