Dear Parents,
With the temporary break in the weather please remember that it’s till winter. I find many children get confused on how to dress when the weather warms a bit. Remember 30 degrees is still very cold!
Here are some tips I found on FluFACTS.com that you could look for to help tell the difference between a Cold and the Flu.
“The cold and flu are both respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different types of viruses. Flu symptoms usually come on quickly (within 3-6 hours) and consist of a fever, body aches, dry cough, and extreme tiredness. Cold symptoms are less severe and people experience a stuffy nose, productive cough, slight tiredness, and limited body aches. Remember that if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, it is better to act fast and speak to your doctor within 12 to 48 hours you maybe able to gets medications if you catch it in time.”

Stay Healthy,
