re: Fever of 101.

Quoting Alyssa's Mama *:" I read them..thanks I said I was a tad bit confused. & the fever is 101 under her arm, so it's really 102."

It still doesn't mean she has the flu

fever does NOT equal flu.

Quoting A❤T=P+[It's a Girl:" fever does NOT equal flu."

she has a fever
she vomited last night
she has diarrhea
she refuses to eat
she has a cough
and a runny nose.


yea, she has the flu.

Quoting Alyssa's Mama *:" she has a fever she vomited last night she has diarrhea she refuses to eat she has a cough and a runny nose. yea, she has the flu. "

or she has a cold.

Quoting Alyssa's Mama *:" she has a fever she vomited last night she has diarrhea she refuses to eat she has a cough and a runny nose. yea, she has the flu. "

you didn't state any of that in the op. only the fever. everyone was simply saying that a fever doesn't equal the flu..

Quoting Kelly&Coralie:" or she has a cold. "

or any other number of viruses going around.

Quoting Alyssa's Mama *:" she has a fever she vomited last night she has diarrhea she refuses to eat she has a cough and a runny nose. yea, she has the flu. "

those symptoms are super non specific and caused by most viruses that are going around this time of year. It's still SUPER early into flu season, it's more likely she's got some kind of enteroviral infection.

Well, thank you ladies for your answers.

If she has a runny nose, it is NOT the flu. The flu is not mucous producing. So she cannot have the flu if she has a runny nose.

No question she is sick, but it isn't the flu shot and she does not have the flu.

Quoting Autumn Whisper:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Alyssa's Mama *:</b>" she has a fever she vomited last night ... [snip!] ... cannot have the flu if she has a runny nose. No question she is sick, but it isn't the flu shot and she does not have the flu."

um.. where did you hear that? Nasal Congestion is part of the flu

Or she could have a cold AND the flu. They can happen at the same time

Per the doctor, the last time I had the flu.

Don't tell me the dumbass lied to me again? I looked it up, but what sources I found in the preliminary stages agreed with him so I didn't push further.

Nasal congestion (stuffy or runny nose) is a classic sign of the flu. The flu does produce mucous. Haven't you ever heard someone hacking up a lung when they have the flu?

Chest congestion but not runny nose was my understanding. Non-productive cough. Consistent with my experience, too. I had the flu last spring. It sucked. Nasty cough. Heavy chest. Not a hint of runny nose.

Either way, I stand on it having nothing to do with the flu shot.

Why not say her symptoms in the OP instead of waiting for people to say it's not the flu?

She had a virus before the flu shot, the fl shot did not give her the flu. It's a dead virus in the shot.
And it only protects against 3 strains and doesn't protects against anything airborne.
