      Now make some hot sweet tea and homemade chicken soup with lots of carrots in it. Be sure you offer the tea to your child/children every couple of hours. Have them eat at least a half a bowl of the soup, do not force them to eat. If they do not want the soup, try french fries with salt, do not force them. Drinking is more important during the flu.

      Once you have given the medicine, the tea and soup, it is now time to give them a warm bath and let their bodies relax. This will also make them tired. Once they are through with the bath, have them dress lightly, do not over bundle them. With the flu comes fever, dressing to warm will make the fever spike up.

      Now that you have everything done, the best thing for a child with the flu is sleep. Have them lay down and eventually they will fall asleep. Keep checking on them, do not worry if they sleep for hours, it is good for them. The more rest they get, the faster their bodies heal.
