And do you try to keep an older child with flu separated from the rest of your family? Or you just let them around the house as usual so they don't feel isolated?

There are two types of cough. One means they're still sick and one means they're fully better but the cough can lasts for weeks.

This is what we were told - DH had flu last week.
BH I didn't catch it (I did have a flu shot) and neither did DD (she didn't have flu shot).

If very important, you can buy flu swabs to swab. If they are positive still, it is likely still contagious. There are people who stay contagious for a week or two and other who are only contagious for a few days. If someone is at risk, maybe get them tamiflu as a preventative measure.

Flu is contagious a couple of days before symptoms come out.
We use lot's of purell and try to have the sick one wear a mask when around others.
