How can i help my 1 year old get rid of this severe flu?

my 14month old got the flu 3days ago, during the day he gets better but at night his fever get out of control up to 105.4 and his skin gets so red and its so hard to bring it down (luke warm baths, moist towels, tylenol, motrin), the hospital prescribed him Tamiflu. He's not eating and barely takin in fluids but he has no cough or congestion. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what else i can possibly do to make him feel better and speed up the healing process?

    lots of rest and fluids is right (as the person above me mentioned) but no, he should not sweat it out!...kids get dehydrated easily when they have the flu and should preserve fluids.

    did they do electrolyte levels at the hospital to asses for dehydration? because even though he's receiving tammy flu which should be started on suspicion especially for infants and toddlers good hydration is key for improvement.

    my advice is if you cant get him to take fluids and his feeding isn't that good IV fluids at the hospital er is a good suggestion. No need for admission just to receive a good amount of fluids and go home.

    What i find helpful when i have the flu is a lot of sleep and a lot of fluids.u hav to try to give him as much fluids as possible. try taking him to like a sweat house so he can kinda sweat it out.That kinda helps when i get the flu.
