Good luck. Strangely enough, strep throat seems to be going around.

It's worth heading to a walk in clinic now and get swabbed for strep, flu, etc. Get on antibiotics now and you should be good to go on vacay!

Just fight the symptoms


Benadryl and Motrin/ibuprofen at night, Zyrtec and Motrin/ibuprofen in the morning. Lots of fluids, lots of natural Vitamin C, Zinc, and Potassium through fruit.

All you can do.

ETA:

Besides, of course, getting swabbed and getting antibiotics if it's strep or tamiflu if it's the flu and you're ok giving it to kids (unusual this time of year though)

We learned pretty quickly to plan a buffer week before summer vacations. During that week they are basically isolated at home.

I know what to do guys. I'm just venting because I swear this happens every time.
I personally don’t get sick very often at all, but when I do, its always right before a vacation. I’m convinced someone put some voodoo on me. With that said, i started taking that vitamin C emergency packets 4-5 days before leaving for vacation. I was healthy for most recent vacation so Im rolling with that moving forward.
