after a fever

[Phteven]

If you give your child a day off school because they have a fever do you keep them home the next day as well?

[Amity]

Nope.

[Astrolady]

Not if there are no other symptoms. Kameron has often come down with a fever for no reason, and be totally fine the next day and been sent to school

[Traveller]

not unless the fever didn't break until the early hours and they had therefore lost most of their night's sleep. The only thing I would keep them off for after symptoms end would be diarrhoea and vomiting, in which case they are still contagious for 24 - 48 hours so I would let them stay off.

I'm one of those 24 hours post fever people.... I just don't think their immune systems are able to fight anything else off straight away... but if they have a temp in the morning, and then recover throughout the day, the next day I will send them very dependant on the situation...

I kept him home today and he's rocketing about the place and bouncing off walls but he still looks kind of rough and tired so I suspect he'll be all out of energy by lunch time.
The other in one is in bed with a fever

[Jaycee]

If he doesn't have any other symptoms and the fever is gone I'd send him. But my DS1 is always itching to go back to kindy

[~Raven~]

I keep mine home the next day too.
