Child's immune response is stronger. In unnatural situations, the immune system can overreact and destroy vital organs. Diabetes Type I is a good example.
This is fundamentally wrong and completely misunderstands what makes you feel ill. When you feel ill it's because of your immune response, not because of the infection.
Children's immune systems aren't fully developed and give weaker responses. You are developing your T-Cells until you are a teenager, and as a result children typically have weaker immune responses than adults. That's why children tend to get things adults just don't as often, like ear infections, and why children tend to die of diseases at high rates in less developed countries.
So a child doesn't feel bad as long as an adult because they have weaker and longer lasting responses, compared to an adult that has a much more intense response over a shorter period until you get well past your prime, at which point your immune system starts to wane.
