Nurse’s Notes:
It is not unusual to see cases of strep throat from
late fall through spring. I have heard of some cases
around the district. Parents, teachers and students
can prevent the spread of strep throat infections by
following these basic guidelines:
1. Good Hygiene: Good hand washing,
especially after coughing and sneezing
(cover), and before preparing foods or eating.
Proper tissue use and disposal will help limit
spread of strep and many other infections as
well.
2. Go to the doctor if you have symptoms:
Strep throat symptoms typically start with
sudden fever, red, painful sore throat and
possibly white patches on the tonsils.
Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain can
occur, more common in children than adults.
Treatment will reduce the chance of
complications.
3. Stay home if you’re sick: If the test result
shows strep throat, the person must stay
home from work, school, or day care until 24
hours after antibiotic started. It is very
important to finish all your medicine to
prevent complications.

pants and underwear
for all sizes,
especially during the

It is also important to know and realize that a sore
throat does not always mean one has strep throat.
See the links below for more about strep throat and
information about antibiotic use.
