Baby gets flu!! OMG!


If your baby is near someone with the flu who is coughing or sneezing, he may breathe in infected droplets through his mouth or nose. A person with the flu is contagious for about a day before symptoms begin and for about five days after.
Because the flu proliferates when people are in close contact, it travels easily through schools, daycare centers, playgroups, and families. Usually the unsuspecting victim will get sick one to four days after exposure.
But because the severity of the flu differs from person to person, people can be infected with the virus and not know it. If they develop only mild symptoms they may think it's a cold and unknowingly pass the flu virus to others.
