September illness

Post date: Sep 8, 2015 8:29:19 PM

High school is seeing mostly sore throats and fevers.

Sore throat and/or fever (not improving) longer than 72 hrs, advise Dr visit to rule out bacterial infection.

As always, viral illnesses typically last a week to 10 days, and typically subside without medical treatment.

Reminder to use good hand washing and to cover coughs and sneezes.
