FROM THE NURSE
Allergies/Cold- Reminder: The nurse’s office does not stock medication for seasonal allergies or cold/multi-symptom medication. There are several over the counter allergy medications that last 24 hours available. There are also over the counter eye drops specially formulated for allergies.
What if a doctor diagnoses your child with the flu? Current recommendations from the JOCO Health Department, KDHE, & USD 232 are exclusion from school for diagnosed influenza for 5 days following the onset of symptoms (from the day when symptoms began…not the day the doctor gave the diagnosis) or until fever free for 24 hours without the aid of fever reducing medications, whichever is longer. (example: if fever last 7 days student needs to stay home 7 day plus 24 hours after fever has resolved-time excluded 8 days, weekends count as part of exclusion; example 2 if symptoms begin on Saturday and fever ends on Monday student can return in 5 days on Thursday).
To aid countywide influenza tracking, please give details about your student’s illness. If your student has flu-like symptoms or has been diagnosed with flu, please be prepared to provide:
· Date symptoms started (and date of diagnosis if different)
· Date of flu shot, if received
· Type of flu (Influenza A, Influenza B, Influenza AB or type unknown)
· If student was hospitalized
Flu symptoms and Covid-19 symptoms are very similar. Your student may need to get tested for both Influenza and Covid-19.
