COLD VS. FLU (CDC)
- The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses but they are caused by different viruses. Because these two types of illnesses have similar flu-like symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. In general, the flu is worse than the common cold, and symptoms such as fever, body aches, extreme tiredness, and dry cough are more common and intense. Colds are usually milder than the flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose.
- The number one way to prevent infection is good hand washing!
- Please keep your child home for 24 hours if they experience a fever over 100 degrees Fahrenheit or vomiting. They must be symptom free (without medication) for 24 hours to return to school.
