Too Sick for School?

Posted Date: 01/31/2020

Send me to school if...

• I have a runny nose or just a little cough,  but no other symptoms.
• I haven’t taken any fever-reducing medicine for 24 hours, and I haven’t had a fever during that time.
• I haven’t thrown up or had any diarrhea for 24 hours.

Keep me at home if…………...

• I have a temperature higher than 100 degrees even after taking medicine.
• I’m throwing up or have diarrhea.
• My eyes are pink and crusty.

Call the Doctor if………..

• I have a temperature higher than 100 degrees for more than two days.
• I’ve been throwing up or have diarrhea for more than two days.
• I’ve had the sniffles for more than a week, and they aren’t getting better.
• I still have asthma symptoms after using my asthma medicine (and call 911 if I’m having trouble breathing after using an inhaler).
