Illness time in our house.....

You have to keep the environment(home) clean as much as possible. Does your daughter take any vitamins? She needs one so she can be strong and so that it can boost her immune system. If the doctor has given your son some medicines for his strep, then you better follow what the doctor has prescribed. You have to finish the allotted days that is being prescribed.

My kids don't normally get too sick, but my daughter has allergies that kick her butt this time of year. She is just a bit stuffy right now, but I am sure it will get worse before it gets better. I can hear her breathing in the next room and she sound stuffy. I would not be surprised if she work up asking for her allergy medicine soon.

yup we do the same thing here hoping grandd aughter dont bring nothing home from school

Well that's too bad! I hope your son is feeling better soon. I know my son used to be prone to that too...but once he got on meds it didn't take long for him to feel better! Hopefully it will be short lived for him...and hope you daughter passes on it this time..one can always hope!

I think that it is true of most families that this is the time of the year when people start to get sick. The reason that I think that is because of the fact that the weather starts to turn colder and that means that we spend a lot more time indoors than we ordinarily would. Knock on wood we've been lucky here so far that none of us has been sick and I certainly hope that we are able to keep that up for about another month to make sure that Tom's immune system is coming back up after his chemotherapy is over.

Micro germs are the major cause for most of the disease. so we should be conscious in cleanliness in hour home in all aspects.

We don't have the strep thing going on, but are taking turns with a respiratory infection. I hope everyone gets well soon.

Usually the kids do bring home illness from being in school and inside with other kids so much. I hope they are better fast.

I hate strep. It about killed me one year because we didn't have unsyurance and I put off going to the doctor. I hardly ever get sick but when I do get sick, I am sick!

Schools are such hotbeds of infections! I hope your children get well quickly, I remember when my boys would catch something at school and it'd go through the house--leaving me to take care of everyone! Thank God I never caught anything...I hope you avoid it, too!

I know it's hard but if everybody will wash their hands often and if you spray eveything that is touched i think you may have a better chance of keep control of illness. I remember when we had school age children living with us, it was often one illness after another, until I became a monster about hand washing. Moms often get to be the bad guys.

I wonder if something is going around as I know several who have as of lately getting sick. I feel like a head cold is coming my way as I have been a bit congested today. I love Lysol and do spray it on occasion here too. With winter under way I better go and stock up. lol

The reason for that is because of the big change in weather conditions during October. The usual time of the month that is cooled is now filled with heavy rains this is how our environment has been affected by climate change. I have asthma but thankfully its not acting up because I have anti flu injections this April. Thank God for that! My daughter is the one who got sick with pink eye.

children usually become homesick when studying at school. the longed to play with her parents at home.

Aw sorry to hear your son is sick. My daughter I think has an ear infection. I'm going to get her into the doctor Monday. She has a slight fever and says her head and her ear hurts. The school nurse said she couldn't even see her ear drum because there was a wax ball in the way. I tried to see the wax when she got home but it is in too far to see without some tool. I'm hoping we don't get any major illnesses. We usually don't get too much major.(Knock on wood) Strep throat is going around here too. A few in my daughters class had it but so far she hasn't gotten in and it's been a week so I hope she is in the clear.
