		<description>Missing school is hard, especially 7th grade and up. More hand washing needed.  If we(especially kids) could learn to keep our hands out of our eyes, nose, and mouth, we&#039;d be much better off....wishful thinking, I guess.  I have two kids that never get sick.  I can&#039;t remember my 14 year old ever missing school for an illness.  He&#039;s never had a cavity either.  However, my 10 year old catches a cold about 3 times a school year.</description>

		<description>Usually I give my daughter some Triaminic Cold &amp; Cough when she&#039;s feeling ill and send her off to school.  After reading this post, I&#039;ll have to rethink that strategy.

The difficult thing when it comes to kids being sick during the school year is knowing when to keep them home and when to send them in.  From what I understand, you&#039;re most contagious at the beginning stages of the virus, especially so when you&#039;re not sure if you&#039;re ill yet or not, because then you&#039;re not taking the precautions necessary to prevent your sickness from spreading to others.  If I remember correctly, there is less viral shedding, and thus decreased risk of infecting others, toward the end of the illness.  

I don&#039;t think I can keep her home every time she gets the sniffles, as their calendar year is fairly strict in terms of how much they can miss before suffering negative consequences.  Kids in general do seem to get sick fairly often, but most of the time they&#039;re able to roll with it fairly well, as long as you keep them occupied so that they don&#039;t focus on how ill they feel.  I find that once she gets into something, be it playing, reading or whatever, she usually forgets about feeling under the weather.

Maybe if more parents kept their children home when they were sick, we could stop the endless cycle of infection that seems to persist in schools.  However, that may require to great of a concerted effort, and the calendar year certainly doesn&#039;t look kindly on kids missing school.

I think in the future I&#039;m going to emphasize healthier eating, more sleep and perhaps some more fun activities when she, or my wife and I for that matter, are sick.  This is stuff that we could all use anyway in greater doses.</description>

		<description>I agree with Crystal. The school sickness seems to be never ending and this is more than likely why. Just one cold after another.</description>

		<description>I wonder how many deaths and other side effects manifested for adults taking these over-the-counter remedies?

Remedies is an oxymoron in this case.</description>

		<description>One problem is that parents load their kids up on cold medicines so they can go to school.  Now, everyone in the class is sick.
When I was growing up, I survived viruses without any meds.</description>
