The Flu Found St. Brigid
Influenza has made its way into every grade level at St. Brigid of Kildare School this week.
In place of sending class notices as we usually do with communicable diseases, this article will be notification that your child has possibly been exposed to the Influenza virus.
Influenza (also known as "the Flu") is a contagious respiratory illness caused by Influenza viruses.
The following information will help you monitor your child:
-
Symptoms:
Abrupt onset of some or all of the following: headache, fever and/or chills, muscle aches, sore throat, congestion, cough, fatigue.
-
Complications:
The Flu can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia and bronchitis. The Flu can also lead to a flare of chronic conditions, such as asthma.
-
Treatment:
Prescription antiviral medication is available and is most effective at early onset of symptoms. Contact your primary care physician to discuss its use.
-
Method of spread:
Transmitted from one person to another by the droplets of a sneeze or cough. Can also spread by touch of objects handled by a person infected with the Flu.
-
Control:
Students with the Flu must stay home until symptoms resolve: no fever for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication (Tylenol, Motrin, etc) and lessening of respiratory symptoms and fatigue.
-
Continue to notify the Office if your child has been diagnosed with a positive Flu swab. Contact the Health Office for questions 614-718-5825, ext. 239.
