have had the upper respiratory thing for a week now. Feels like there is a huge weight on my chest when i breath. I have coughed so much I am sore, and my lungs sound like I am drownding. Ran fever several days with it as well.

What happened?? Did the parent's let it go on too long before seeking treatment, or is the flu that deadly with kids?

pediatric cases - infants most likely, little immune systems couldn't fend it off.
