Dear Families, We have had a large number of students develop strep throat. We will be doing a deep clean of the school and continue to promote hand washing. Below is some information to help guide you about strep throat. Strep Throat Information § Strep throat is a bacterial infection that may cause sudden, severe sore throat, fever and tender nodes in the neck. § Strep throat should be treated with antibiotics. § Sometimes a throat swab at your doctor’s office is necessary to tell if the sore throat is caused by strep bacteria. § Antibiotic treatment can help ease symptoms and may prevent future problems. Strep throat can spread to others until 24 hours after you begin taking antibiotics. During this time, students should not attend school. When should you call for help? Call your doctor or seek immediate medical care if: § You have a new or higher fever. § You have a fever with a stiff neck or severe headache. § You have new or worse trouble swallowing. § Your pain becomes much worse on one side of your throat. Watch closely for changes in your health, and be sure to contact your doctor if you are not getting better after 2 days. For health information call Health Link at 811. Mrs. Fraser
