My 9-month-old baby has a fever. Is this a sign of the flu?

Good evening ma'am,

What exactly do you want to know? And how long has he had a fever?

Thank you for these details.

Consultation is recommended when it has been 3 days since the fever was present (at this age). During these three days, we will try to reduce the amount of mucus in his nose as much as possible by using the technique described in this document (pages 6 and 7 especially). At this age, you'll need 5 mL of salt water per nostril 5 times a day. You'll be surprised at how much mucus such a small nose can hold. 😊

I hope my advice was helpful.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
