Clinic News
It's flu season! According to the Department of State Health Services, the percentage of people testing positive for influenza has risen sharply over the last few weeks. To prevent the spread of the flu, use these tips:
- Sudden onset of fever, cough, and headache are signs of the flu. Body aches and fatigue may be present as well.
- Your child should STAY HOME if ill. The flu virus is easily transmitted to others about one day before symptoms begin, and for up to a week, even if antiviral medication is being taken.
- Contact your health care provider ASAP if you become ill. Medications are available to reduce the severity and duration of flu symptoms, but are most effective if started early.
- Practice washing hands and covering coughs with your child so they can protect themselves, and their friends.
- If you haven't already received a flu shot, it's not too late. Flu shots are recommended for most individuals 6 months of age and older.
If your child does become ill, allow them to rest at home. These guidelines have been provided by CISD to help you determine whether or not your child should come to school:
- Students must not come to school if temperature is greater than 100.0 F
- If medications like Tylenol, Advil or Motrin are being used to control or prevent fever, your student should stay at home. Students must be fever-free (below 100.0 F) for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication before returning to school.
- Please contact us if your child tests positive for the flu.
Thank you for helping to keep our Powell Family healthy and happy by observing these guidelines!
