Occasional cough will persist for two weeks ...... If the child is treated for 5days of antiviral then no need to treat him more.... for any viral illness there will be tiredness for a week .... No worries .....Give him plenty of liquids ..... and consult your Paediatrician and go for regular flu vaccination every year..... Though it's an optional vaccine it needs to be done under five age group because they are high risk category .....
