Flu Bug Medicine.?

[Miley.Girl?]

I have this thirteen year old daughter and she has major flu. Cough, Cold, Sneezing, Sore Throat, On and Off Tummy aches. What should I give her. We've tried Tylonol and Extra Strength. What do you recommend?

I also don't want to take her to the hospital because it takes hours to get in for nothing. I don't think she's on the verge of dying so...

Chicken soup and lots of water, after a week if she is not better, take her to a regular doctor.

Go to the pharmacy and talk to a pharmacist about something over the counter that is suitable for her age and weight. Describe to them the way the cough sounds and whether or not there's phlegm.

If it persists, see a doctor, especially if she gets sicker, gets a fever, or if the cold/flu does not improve after a few days. Also, if any mucous is yellow or green (gross I know but...) then she might need antibiotics if she can't fight it on her own.
