9 yr old showing signs of the flu?

Q: The school called me yesterday around 230. They said he didn’t have a fever, but he told them he felt bad all over. So I went to get him after work, at 415. He was ok, been playing and all. When I took him to his Doc. appointment at 445, they said he had a high fever at 101 point something. They made sure and took it 2 times. They did what they had to do for his appointment and then tested him for strep since they have a case at his DC. I got him home and he couldn’t keep his eyes open. Our dog wouldn’t leave his side which was VERY cute. I had him eat some yogurt, and he managed to eat about 5-6 chips along with it. I gave him some Children’s Ibuprofen and it broke the fever. This morning he doesn’t have one, but his DC wont let me bring him in until he is 24 hours fever free, which is ok with me, I need a break from work. The thing is…here are his symptoms and they worry me.Feverrunny nose/congestioncoughing (just started about 10 min ago)Negative strep testbody aches(he said he hurts all over)headache(he said his head hurts, so does mine)very red throat (doc said)He is NEVER sick. Only some ear infections. He does have allergies but nothing is pointing to that issue. I am getting him into his doc ASAP due to the fact my dad, whom we live with, has some very bad lung issues. His Doc said he CAN NOT be around anyone with the flu, or a simple cold. If he ends up with it, he WILL end up on a Vent. in a matter of hours. Also keep in mine that he was fine when he left yesterday for DC. This hit him all of the sudden.He said he didn’t eat lunch so that makes me think it hit him around 1030 or 11. In my opinion, going for playing and horsing around at 8 and 9 to not eating or playing 2 hours later, thats not right.Please let me know what you think. Only HONEST answers and not kids playing around being stupid.We are NOT hypos!!He is sick!!He is NEVER sick!!Why do you think I am one!?!?I gave the details..MORON!He has a Doc appointment, I just made at 1015. Ill keep you guys updated. If it is the flu, of anykind, then he is the only one around this area with it. FYI.. I NEVER said i thought it was the swin fluupdate:not the flu but a very nasty virus.

A: Give him some tamiflu or any prescribed medicine from doctors.
