Many of you may have already heard from the daycare and kindergarten that a significant number of preschool-age children, and not only, are experiencing <strong data-start=\"450\" data-end=\"503\">coughing, severe nasal congestion, and runny nose<\/strong>, with or without fever.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"836\">In most cases, the diagnosis is a <strong data-start=\"565\" data-end=\"584\">viral infection<\/strong> of the <strong data-start=\"592\" data-end=\"619\">upper respiratory tract<\/strong> (nose, ears, throat) and\/or the <strong data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"679\">lower respiratory tract<\/strong> (larynx, lungs). In some cases, <strong data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"737\">a throat swab culture<\/strong> confirms the presence of <strong data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"792\">streptococcal tonsillitis<\/strong>, which requires <strong data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"833\">antibiotic treatment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"976\">Given these circumstances, it is important to be stricter about <strong data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"930\">keeping children at home<\/strong> when they show symptoms. As a general rule:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1606\">\n<li data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1108\">Any child with <strong data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"1016\">a fever (T&gt;37.9\u00b0C)<\/strong> should <strong data-start=\"1024\" data-end=\"1105\">stay at home until they have been fever-free for at least 24 hours (T&lt;37.5\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1371\">Any child with <strong data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1168\">severe nasal congestion and runny nose<\/strong>, requiring frequent nose-blowing or wiping (more than 5 times per hour), or exhibiting <strong data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1296\">a productive or paroxysmal dry cough<\/strong>, excessive <strong data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1319\">tearing<\/strong>, or <strong data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1341\">eye discharge<\/strong>, should <strong data-start=\"1350\" data-end=\"1368\">remain at home<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1606\">Additionally, if a child is <strong data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1492\">more tired than usual, prefers to lie down, or has trouble participating in activities<\/strong>, they should <strong data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1551\">stay at home until their symptoms improve<\/strong> enough for them to fully engage in daily activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1608\" data-end=\"1867\">This is yet another <strong data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1650\">challenging period<\/strong>, as <strong data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"1752\">March and April are traditionally months with the highest frequency of respiratory infections<\/strong>.
