***INFLUENZA***
The Idaho Public Health Department
 
What you need to know if your child has an influenza-like illness (fever with a cough or sore throat).  In order to protect your child’s health, and that of others, please follow these recommendations:
 
ü      Keep your child home until their symptoms are gone and until they have been free of fever (less than 100 degrees F, without the use of a fever-reducing medicine) for at least 24 hours.
 
ü      Have your child get plenty of rest.
 
ü      Have your child drink plenty of fluids.
 
ü      Ask your child’s healthcare provider or pharmacist for advice on medicine to ease you child’s symptoms, such as acetaminophen (don’t give aspirin to a child for a cold or flu).
 
ü      Call your child’s healthcare provider if you have any questions.
 
ü      If your child has difficulty breathing, or if symptoms get better then worse, call your child’s healthcare provider immediately, or seek emergency medical attention.
