I or my children have never been diagnosed with the flu so I do not know what it is.  My 9 year old son has severe environmental allergies and takes allergy shots.  So, when he started coughing and running a fever of 101 this weekend I thought he was just getting a URI or sinus infection.  Then he threw up late last night...and this morning.  My question is..does the flu start out as like coughing/sneezing/watery eyes then progress to the vomiting? He hasn't had body aches at all.   tia
