10 Symptoms of Flu B
8. Diarrhea
Another symptom that appears much more frequently among children than adults, diarrhea can be another issue to look out for if your kids are sick. While not the most commonly associated symptom of the flu, it still occurs in some people and may lead to an increased need for care. Besides being uncomfortable, diarrhea can come with its own issues of which anyone suffering from flu should be aware.
People with diarrhea can easily become dehydrated. If diarrhea or vomiting are symptoms your child is suffering from, it is vital that they drink plenty of liquids. Having the affected person drink juice or sip on water can be a good idea regardless of their symptoms, but in cases where dehydration is especially likely, it becomes even more important.
