3 Weeks Down!
The first three weeks of school did not come without colds and allergies. With the farmers picking corn and thrashing milo, allergies are high and symptomatic. I have posted a new website to the left that discusses the differences between colds and allergies.
I have seen quite a few headaches (without fever), stomach aches (without vomiting) and sore throats (red and scratchy). Most have done well with palliative over the counter treatments. A few have been diagnosed by a physician with a virus and to treat the symptoms.
Along with that has been pink eye. Conjunctivitis is the most common eye problem kids can have. It can cause redness, itching, inflammation or swelling, and a clear or white, yellow, or greenish gooey liquid to collect in the eyes. It is very contagious and although there are different causes and types you should be seen by a physician before returning to school.
