Figure out which illnesses should keep your children home and for how long

Many parents have a hard time deciding if their kids are well enough to go to school. What well-intentioned parent hasn’t sent a child off with tissues in hand, only to get that mid-morning “come get your child” phone call? But making the right decision isn’t as tough as you might think. It basically boils down to one question: Is my child conta- gious? Infections like pinkeye or strep throat usually necessitate a day home with appropri- ate treatment because they are highly conta- gious. Most daycares and schools won’t let kids return until after a fever has broken natu- rally (without fever-reducing medicines) for at least 24 hours. So what infections should parents be con- cerned about as kids head back to school? KidsHealth.org says these are the top five ill- nesses parents should look out for during the school year. 1. PINKEYE Conjunctivitis, or pinkeye, is an inflamma- tion of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. It can be caused by an infection or by exposure to chemicals or other irritants. Is it contagious? Yes. Conjunctivitis is contagious when caused by viruses (as in most cases) or bacteria, but not when caused by allergies or irritants (like air pollution or swimming pool chemicals). How does it spread? Conjunctivitis caused by bacteria or a virus can be spread through contact with the infected person’s secretions or by touching MCT something the person has touched (like a towel or washcloth). Children may spread it from one eye to the other through touching. Non-infectious conjunctivitis, such as that caused by an allergy, is not spread person to person. When do symptoms go away? Usually two to three days after treatment has begun for bacterial conjunctivitis, and about one to two weeks for viral conjunctivitis. For non- encourage contact with someone with lice.
