Flu Update:
Are you having trouble telling if your child’s illness is a cold (upper respiratory infection) or the flu (influenza)? Both are caused by viruses but often present with different symptoms.
Symptom Cold Flu
Onset? Slow Sudden
Fever? Rare 100-104º
Exhausted? Mild Usually at the start
Headache? Rare Common
Appetite? Normal Decreased
Muscle Aches? None to slight Common
Chills? Rare Common
Stuffy/runny nose? Common Sometimes
Sort throat? Common Common
**If your child is exhibiting flu-like symptoms, he/she should stay home from school. This will also help decrease the spread of illness to other children and staff, especially those who may have a chronic health condition. Students may return to school once symptoms have resolved and have been fever-free for 24 hours WITHOUT using medication to bring the fever down. Please remember to call Safe Phone to notify us of your child’s absence.
Remember the 3 C’s:
Clean ~ wash your hands frequently
Cover ~ cough/sneeze into tissue or into your sleeve. Remember to wash your hands after
using a tissue.
Contain ~ contain germs. If you are sick, stay home. If you are well, avoid being around
people who are ill.
