Flu hospitalizations are rising across all age groups, especially children. The increase comes as other respiratory viruses are also spiking in kids.
"We realize the potential implications of the co-circulating viruses all at once," Brammer said."We're taking it very seriously."
While the flu and similar viral illnesses are rising nationwide, they're notably high across the Southeast and Eastern Seaboard — from Texas to Georgia, and South Carolina up to Virginia and New Jersey, according to the new report. "I always tell parents when their kids have flu, it's going to be a rough week, and they're going to get better," Martinello said. But if a child who has recovered from the flu starts to feel sick again a week or 10 days later, she advises parents to take the child back to the doctor."I want to re-listen to his lungs and re-check his ears and make sure that something else hasn't happened as a secondary issue.
