Colds and Flu

ColdsColds are a fact of life for children--they seem to drip continuously. Parents are better able to handle colds when they know what to expect and what they can do to help treat their child. The flu can be a little more worrisome. Being familiar with the common symptoms of both colds and flu helps parents recognize when their child is suffering from more than "just a cold."
