have you checked the symptoms of swine flu? if your instinct says it is i think you need to insist, they might give her tamiflu for it, i'm not sure. i hope it is really tonsillitis. it's better to be safe than sorry.

That's true, better be safe than sorry specially na she's just 6 years old, she may not be able to relay how she's really feeling.
Hope your daughter feels better soon.
You can tell it is tonsillitis by looking at the tonsils. They'll be red & swollen, which is what the Dr would have seen.
Swine flu has runny nose, dry throat, etc

I agree, double check everything and get a second opinion if necessary.... and i wish for your daughter's speedy recovery ladyj........

We were worried about our daughter after we read the news but then we visit the NHS website to see the swine flu sympton checker for her and also her condition was worst past few days compare today so I would say we are now 80% confident that she is safe from swine flu, hopefully! Im just gonna keep an eye on her.
Thanks for all your support guys!

just seen on the news. the gov think upto 20-30,000 people could be infected, and in aug 100,000 a day could be infected...
The government said that they will give people a swine flu vaccination, I hope they do this right now than later.

i'm sure your little gal will be fine, even if 30,000 people have it, at the mo that's a 1 in 2000 chance of having it, and only 17 people have died out of the 30,000 and most apart from 2 i think had other illnesses
if i was you, phone your doc back and tell them your concerns,,
Thanks Joe, I will definitely speak to her GP again tomorrow.i've heard of people have swine flu parties

3 dead in P.I ..One young girl that was asthmatic the other an old woman with existing lung problems.. (not sure about the other but Im sure she/he was probably suffering from pre existing ailment.
This pathetic government again thinks we are all stupid
They go on and on and on and.....about the majority of folk dropping dead from it have pre-existing ailments.
FANTASTIC....that only limits it to a few million people in the UK then

Hope your daughter feels better soon. Keep in touch with the doctors and read advice.
Here is the NHS24 specific information on Swine flu, match it to symptoms and discuss your worries with the doctor as soon as possible.
NHS swine flu information
Another bit on the site is a self-help guide which shows yes/no answers to narrow down things, but this will give you an idea what the nurse will ask you if you phone NHS, because they use charts.

Best wishes. Hope she get well soon

I can empathise with your concern, Anne.My healthy six yr old daughter who is suffering from a mild temperature and sore throat since thursday. Today we went to see a GP and she said that my daughter is suffering from tonsilitis and prescribed her antibiotic.
Im really worried right now.It's just unfortunate that all the recent publicity surrounding Swine Flu has come about at a time when your little girl has developed *tonsilitis - *a common ailment which, in normal circumstances, would be a lot less worrying. But try to keep calm, remain in contact with the GP who diagnosed her condition and, if symptoms persist, seek a second - or even third - opinion. Above all, make sure she completes her course of antibiotics.
Hello everyone,
After 5 days of my daughter being really in poor condition, she didn't get temperature since taking her antibiotic yesterday which is a very good sign that her illness was really from her tonsilitis and not swine flu and I thought that she should go to school today because their school term end of this week.
We were really alarmed about her when we heard the news about the six yr old girl died yesterday from swine flu were she wrongly diagnosed by her GP. They thought she was only suffering from tonsilitis, she was healthy just exactly the same to my daughter. Poor little girl, my heart goes out to her family.
I dont know if the government should act a bit more or not to this horror virus because a lot of people are dying from it every week and it's just really scary.
So you guys look after your love ones, if they develop any sign of not feeling well seek an advice as soon as possible as we've been lucky that our little girl is OK after 5 days that I thought she just having a high temperature for some reason and will survive with pain & fever relief and wasn't thinking that she must have caught swine flu, it was very alarming to what had happened to her and I learned that mistake.
I also would like to say thank you for all your support and care for my princess.

My sister inlaw's daughter have the same case as your daughter and she is also 6 yo. I was so worried too because she was here last saturday and keep complaining with her throat
But she is getting better now.
Your daughter will be ok
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
In quoting your own words [I'm] "not an expert ... I only try to help": I honestly believe there's no real need to panic in your daughter's case ... especially since her symptoms appear to have abated in the past few days. Besides, as you mentioned yourself, she's an otherwise healthy child! And I'm relieved to learn that consulting the NHS website - together with the links suggested by your friends on the forum - seems to have allayed your fears to a great extent.
So, our best wishes for a speedy recovery, and please keep us updated on her progress.
THanks Ann and Arthur.

we received a letter yesterday from yujin's school.. that a younger sibling of two children in school has been in direct contact with swine flu. that's why we always check our kids now from time to time.
we can't avoid worrying when it comes to our kids. even with a minor wound or cut we always panic. what more with swine flu...
glad your daughter is getting better

Just read this news in the Sky news website
Britain was at the "front of the queue" for supplies of vaccine and would start to receive the first from next month, Mr Burnham said.

Please don't take this the wrong way...but does swine flu even exist? I think they make these things up!
There are 7 Planes Of Existance:
7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
6 — Plane of Forces
5 — Astral Plane
4 — Mental Plane
3 — Too mysterious to describe.
2 — Too mysterious to describe.
1 — Too mysterious to describe.
Well the strain of flu they have called swine flu exists sadly i vaguely know of two people totally unrelated living miles apart who have passed away from itPlease don't take this the wrong way...but does swine flu even exist? I think they make these things up!
Ie they are real people both too young to have been taken from this world
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
hope your daughter gets well soon Lady J.
My daughter in the Phils also contacted the swine flu virus.. i was also very worried like you... after a week she was able to get better... just make sure she gets rest, lots of fluids, and nutritious food...
I pray your daughter gets well soon...
