[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sending kids with vomiting, fevers, etc. is horrible, but I’m surprised to see so many people implying that kids should be kept home for coughs, colds, etc. Our pediatrician always says to go back to school after 24 hours fever free or similar...wouldn’t truancy be an issue if kids took a week off for every cold or minor virus? My otherwise-healthy little kids seem to have runny noses and sneezing half the winter, and the doctor says that’s typical.[/quote]

No, it is not normal to have a cold for half if the winter. Maybe because your kids never get a chance to recover? No, this is not healthy.

So you send your coughing and sneezing kids with running nose to school? You don’t care about other kids or your own do you?[/quote]

Cleveland Clinic says to send kids with mild cold symptoms to school.

+1.  Pediatrician spouse, and we send our kid to school with mild symptoms (only one cold so far this year, kid doesn’t get sick often).[/quote]

We send our kids as long as the fever is under 102.  We give them Motrin and they are fine.  They are just sitting at school so they get rest and aren’t bored[/quote]
