This is exactly the advice that is going around the hospital where I intern. I agree with it--if your kid (or you for that matter) has the sniffles or a cough, tuck into bed with some soup and call the family doctor. If there's no fever or the symptoms aren't severe, why go to an ER full of severely sick people? If you don't have the flu when you come in, chances are you will by the time you leave.
