We all want our children to be healthy and safe, and so we do our best to protect them.
But, after taking care of them they still end up catching a cold or getting sometimes. And when that happens, parents make that their priority to help their kid recover.
The first thing we do is we don’t send our kids to school and, yes, we even avoid awesome birthday parties too. One mom, Samantha Moriá Reynolds, posted about how important it is that your sick kids stay at home and her message went viral on the Internet.
Most parents would agree with her thought about not sending our kids outside, when they are sick. But, there are some parents out there who might need to hear it understand properly.
Here’s the post Samantha put up to slam some parents who send their kids to places when they are sick.
According to Dr. Donner, a fever is defined as a temperature of 100.4°F (that’s 38°C) and above. “It is important to keep a child home from school or daycare when they are spiking active fevers in an effort to prevent the spread of infection,” the pediatrician stressed the importance of not letting others catch whatever your child has as well.
“For example, the common cold can cause fevers lasting several days!” she noted. That means lots of staying at home with your kid in your pajamas, watching cartoons, getting plenty of sleep, water, and chicken soup.
“Medications like Tylenol or Motrin can temporarily relieve fever and the associated discomfort, but high temperatures may persist until the underlying infection has cleared,” Dr. Donner told Bored Panda.
According to Dr. Donner, she suggests keeping a child home from school until they are fever-free, for at least 24 hours.”
