It can be difficult to make that early morning decision about whether or not to send your child to school when they wake up with minor symptoms. Sometimes it is hard to tell if they are going to get better or worse during the day, but using this guide should alleviate some of the guesswork.

*Coughs almost constantly, has difficulty breathing or has a wheeze
*Has repeated bouts of diarrhea
*Is in persistent pain (ear, stomach, etc.)
*Displays a skin rash or red eye(s)
*Is infested with lice or scabies
