At the beginning, the child may have dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches and pains, and so on, so the child may vomit and then say that his feet hurt. Influenza can be treated with anti-infective therapy such as oseltamivir, while patients with high fever can be treated with ibuprofen to reduce fever. General treatment is mainly physical cooling.
