Kids feeling sick after school starts? Here’s why

Classrooms are buzzing again, and so are the germs! As kids settle back into school routines, many are catching the notorious “back-to-school crud”—from sniffles to stomach bugs. Doctors say it’s totally normal as everyone’s immune systems adjust to being around new faces (and their germs). If your child has a fever over 100.4°F, vomiting, or diarrhea, it’s best to keep them home. Good handwashing, not sharing drinks, and plenty of sleep are key to staying healthy. Have you noticed your kids feeling under the weather since school started? How do you help them bounce back? #Health #BodyHealth #BackToSchool

It’s amazing how the kids are never sick during the summer and all sudden school starts and they don’t feel well

Being trapped in a box under constant LEDs and screens doesn’t do them any favors either. Kids need sun and air and not confinement and indoctrination.

If kids would wash their hands, cover their mouths when coughing, sneezing, keep their hands out of their mouth, nose, and wash their hands we'd probably be good lol, wishful thinking lol! I pray all baby's have a great and blessed and safe yr. God bless all

yup. 4 days in and we have diarrhea, vomiting, major headaches. it picked all 3 of my kids one by one. 🤦‍♀️ it's normal. they just have to get used to the germs. but viral stomach bug is going around and we were privileged to get it right away. BTW, diarrhea medicine, Zofran etc is NOT helping. good luck everyone! 🙏💕

They should bring back 3 recesses a day so kids get fresh air and vitamin D. Now, they're locked in their seats all day.
