Yes of course if any member in your family is symptomatic then kindly consult a doctor. Never go to self medication or approach a chemist. But it doesn't mean that the respective person is suffering from H1N1 type of viral influenza type A. If the patient is suffering from sour throat, lower respiratory tract infection then you must see a doctor. Those who are asymptomatic can go for vaccination. Consult me online if needed. I wish your son & yourself a hasty recovery. Regards.
