What Every Parent Needs to Know
As you know cold and flu season is upon us and kids are great at sharing toys and germs! As always if you haven't gotten a flu shot I cannot recommend that enough!! If your child has a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea we ask that you keep them home to help keep the sharing of germs to a minimum. And we ask that a child be fever free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school. Encourage your kids to wash their hands and cover their coughs and sneezes. There are many different resources out there about keeping your kids safe and healthy and I highly recommend that you check with your pediatrician for more helpful tips! And East TN Children's Hospital website/social media is a great and reliable resource for health articles. Below is a link to some flu facts published by ETCH that provide a quick guide to the flu and prevention. Thanks for your help in keeping our kids safe, happy, and healthy!
