Column - How do we know if it's flu?
An orange sheet of paper caught my eye as I perused the back-to-school information that came home from school last week. Essentially, it said if your child has a fever and either a sore throat or cough, you should keep them home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone without medicine.
