Flu Season!

by Saul Alvarado

What is the biggest health threat for our students during this season? Flu and dehydration. Children are two to three times more likely to get sick with the flu. high fever, major headaches, mucle and body aches, exhaustion, and dry coughs are some of the symptoms you would have if you had flu and/or cold. The difference between cold and the flue is that a cold gives you a stuffy nose, you start to sneeze a lot,k and you have a sore throat because of the coughs. Also, you don't usually get a fever with a cold.

What should our kids do if they are sick? If you are sick, try not to be around people and avoid contact with others. You should be resting instead of being in school; you should be resting in your bed. Try to drink hot fluids to cure sore throats.

If you have a flu stay home. if you are feeling warm or hot, don't come. Feeling weak, tired, or nauseous and vomiting are some other reasons you should stay at home. if you have the flu and you want to come to the nurse you should go only when you have the chills, headaches, cough and muscle and body aches, or are vomiting and tired.

If you are sick, you can bring your own medicine if you go to the nurse first. Your medicine has to have a label with your name on it or a paper signed by your parents.

So remember, if you are sick, try to avoid contact and REST!
