Thanks, julie. So what percentage of us will get the flu this ye. Bad news but its between 15 and 40 of us. Not quite half of everyone. Anybody can get the flu even Healthy People and Serious Problems can happen at any age. This is the season right now for colds and flu. The question today is when should you stay home . We have answers for you today and joining us now is dr. Jill. We appreciate you being here. Thank you. And we both have kidoes and been sick. What are the signs that we have to look for that you should keep your child home from school. The pretty obvious one is fever. A temperature greater than 100. 4. If theyre having vomiting, diarrhea or those symptoms and pink eye. Other things like the cold and flu. The flu youre going to have a fever with. With a cold, if their cough is productive or would cause enough distraction in the room, i would keep those kids home. How long do you keep them well enough. Because some, im not saying mine, might milk it a little bit. Mine just did. With a fever you would want them to be 24 hours without a fever. So 24 hours without a fever. And if they have nausea or vomiting 48 hours at the minimum from the last episode they had. Because theyre still contagious and you want to make sure you dont spread that you send them back out. A lot of this is mommy. Has your child been tired. Are we going to be able to sit up and learn or not. Be a distraction or contaminate others. If theyre acting puny i would keep them home an extra day. My daughter was down for four days. And shes very active. She could barely move. Ly the pillow. So thats when you know something is wrong. Attitude is everything. If theyre not acting themselves you know something is wrong. And getting the flu shot. Is it too early. Right on time. Is it too late . When do you get it . Right on time. Right before october is when we recommend you get it. You can get a flu shot any time during the season. Everyone should really get the flu shot but remember if youre pregnant, youre elderly and youre a child over the age of 6 you need to get the shot. Theres no flu mist this year its just the shot. So makes parents a little leery. Dont warm them. Dont warm them. Dont tell them were going to the doctor. Just tell them youre doing it to protect them. Have you gotten your flu shot. I have not.
