Supermoo, thanks for the recipe! I didn't think of getting lemons while I was at Walmart this morning, but have used something similar when I was a child. My mom also gave us kidos a big spoon of honey, lemon and whiskey mixed well at bedtime. Made us sleep better and the lemon/honey cut the junk from the throat.

I found a homo-pathetic cough syrup at Walmart that seems to be doing the trick this afternoon. It is honey based and he is clearing out more junk from his lungs than I expected.

I took him to the military clinic we are assigned to, last Friday (which was day 3 of this Flu stuff for him). His regular pediatrician had no appointments so he saw a active duty Army doc. Now they are good at what they do with the troops, but not so good with the younger patients. They give you a 15 minutes appt, then they are gone. He didn't even address the asthma concern. So we called to try to get him back in this morning, and they closed at noon for training and did not have appts for the day. THe nurse said go to the ER. It isn't an emergency, but they would not refer him to an urgent care clinic. I'll try again tomorrow if he still has fever. They gave him a script for Tamiflu last Friday, but when we read the handout and saw the typical side effects we decided not to use it. Vomiting for the first two days didn't sound appealing when he didn't have that symptom. Plus the mood altering possibility of that stuff scares me. My brother took Tamiflu 2 years ago and it took his wife and other brother to hold him down when he thought his house was on fire. The handout said the stuff only lessens the symptoms by up to two days... not worth the risk to me.
