I'm couldn't get my son into the doc until 4:30 today. It seems their office is packed. They're going to 'try' to work us in. He's 12, but when he gets sick, he gets clingy. I have to sing solos tomorrow night, so I'm trying to keep my distance today.

Get plenty of rest and stay hydrated!

Shortness of breath is a common symptom of influenza. If not, you'll probably be okay. Get some bed rest and drink lots of water. Thera-flu is fine, but no fruit juices. Just water. And don't go crazy on the Vitamin C, okay?

Breathing ok....Vicks vapo-rub still works wonders!

I take an extra c vitamin when I'm sick like this, but honestly the b complex I take seems to make me feel a little better....drinking lots of water and green tea!
