Speed Treatment For The Flu

I don't mean to say you should take diet pills for the flu(!), rather, the CDC is recommending "universal" flu vaccination for everyone 6 months & older. But if you think that your small fry has the flu, you need to know how to take a proper temperature. Nationally recognized school nurse Mary Pappas says this can help you determine whether your kid may have the flu, & should see a physician. 1 key to knowing whether it's the flu or just a common cold can be a HIGH fever. That said, a quick & accurate temperature is most important. Nurse Pappas pines that 1 type of thermometer in particular can make life easier for a parent taking the temperature of a fussy child. She says one of them new fangled thermometers with a "smart glow" temporal scanner captures heat from the temporal artery with a gentle swipe across the forehead. I would give you the "Name brand" name but that would turn my Puffman Blog into a commercial & far be it for me to stoop to that level. I would recommend talking with your doctor and/or pharmacist. Stay warm & stay healthy!
