Question
Does a boy’s stuffy nose for two days mean he has the flu?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you described, your child may have an upper respiratory tract infection, which is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. From your description, the likelihood of the flu seems low. Your child may just have a common viral infection. Since taking antipyretic medication, his fever has decreased, suggesting that the condition is not severe. However, to confirm the diagnosis and receive the best treatment plan, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a follow-up examination. Follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
