I caught it from my son, so we got to share feeling really lousy. We both had vaccines this year, so that says something. Our fevers were about 103 for a week, a lot of respiratory symptoms (I'm still coughing after 2 weeks), but we both are almost completely well. Dayquil and nightquil help, if the coughing gets bad, try to get a script over the phone (the hospitals and drs. offices are packed). if the fever lasts longer than a week and you're coughing, you may have developed bronchitis (I did) and now I have to take antibiotics. I just realized how cheery this is (not), at least you'll feel better by Xmas. take care of yourself- judy
