Causes of Illness among students

During the winter months seasonal illnesses are at their peak. At Campus des Nations we have been seeing an increasing number of students and staff with colds, sore throats and gastrointestinal symptoms. (Follow this link for an article for more information on common illnesses among children http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/childrens-conditions/CC00059 ). Important to remember is that children that are ill should not be sent to school - both for their own and others well-being. Students requiring medication at school (e.g. antibiotic treatment for strep throat) should bring the prescription and supply of medication to the Infirmary.
