I always found it interesting that although you can’t catch a cold from going outside in cold weather, that this is typically the time of year when we DO catch colds more often. Of course in some ways it DOES have to do with the weather. We spend so much more time indoors, that germs are passed a lot more easily.
To make things a little easier on moms and kids, Triaminic – makers of Triaminic Thin Strips
The Sick Day Guidlines include keeping your child home IF they have
- A fever of 100.4 or higher
- Have been Vomiting
- Symptoms to make them not be able participate in school such as
- Excessive tiredness and lack of appetite
- Productive coughing or sneezing
- Headache, bodyaches, earache
- Sore throat
Triaminic also sponsors the National Cold and Flu Tracker – This resource provides a weekly data feed of cold and flu symptom trends by region, based on data from SDI Fan® (a source used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Being aware of the activity in your area (or an area that you are traveling) can help you prepare for when cold and flu symptoms appear. For example, Greensboro, Little Rock, Syracuse, and Albany have the highest incidence of illness this week.
To find out the complete Sick Day Guidelines as well as the Cold and Flu Tracker – along with a COUPON for a discount on Triaminic products head over to Triaminic – Moms Just Know.
