The most common disease for School Age Kids is asthma. And this o is why so many kids take the most number of missed days. First of all its m4zchronic which means it does come back and its so common. And its also why the parents end up missing work is because the kids are out of school. What parents need to remember is it requires maintenance medication. If you stopped your meds. Ramp it back up. And how do you keep them on the team and pe. You got them checked out over the summer so remember. Albuter albuterol, you should not be taking more than four puffs a week. If you need to do more, go see yor doctor. Next up for kids, food a aller allergies. How common . Its pretty common. The statistics are there should be two kids in every class that have food allergy. And the thing you need to remember about that is that there is no school nurse to help that kid navigate. You have come one something you call a food allergy drill. And it is a four step thing that kids and parents, teachers need too. Yes. And because there is no school nurse lets practice like a fire drill. First identify whose going to take care of the kid, then get the epinephrine injection, give it to them. Call the parents and 911 and lastly parents need to make sure the form is there so all that can happen if your kid gets into trouble. Talking about the challenges and what parents need to be aware of. Yes and there was a big Study Released yesterday talks about this is more common than ever. About 8 of kids will have this and more and more kids are going to be in the classroom. They are probably going to be on meds they are taking at home. But what the parents need to realize is that the diagnosis is becoming more and more common and somewhat liked with the diagnosis of autism. Sniffles and coughs out there. Lets talk germs if we can. And how do we get the perfect attendance rate every student wants and stay free of strep and colds of things. There is that whole shopping list. In that it says books and pencils and crayons.
