Tuana held a high fever most of the night. I slept with her in my arms, putting cool packs behind her neck as her fever wouldn't break. Tomris still had hers too, but not as high.
After dragging my feet in the morning, we all went to the hospital once again. I was mostly worried about her throat and breathing sound, but other than that - she seemed quite happy.
The flu test came back positive, to which the doctor explained the other kids must have it too - because the test wasn't so reliable with it's negative results. He prescribed an anti-viral for Tomris and Tuana. Teoman seems to be even better, and his cough is calming down too.
I didn't know there was such a thing, an anti-viral, a flu medicine. I'm still a bit suspicious of it, I mean I remember having the flu many times as a child. There was nothing you could do but be miserable for five days - throwing up, fevers, achey bones.
I guess Tolga hasn't experienced it as much - describing his symptoms with shock: delirium, stomach numbness and tingling (yeah, I don't know what that symptom is about), low energy.
