First my daughter came down with fever and she threw up on the first day back in school then my 26months old son had a high fever of 40.7C the day after myself. The symptoms was intermittent, for all of us my question is can the flue/fever be pass from on from a child to an adult and why is the symptoms kept come on and off.

Viruses are tricky. They can be communicable. The symptoms present themselves as the body fights the virus. You can boost your immune system by taking echinacea (you, 300 mg 3 times daily), goldenseal, and Vitamin C (500 mg 1-2 times daily).
