Throwing up

[Amethya]

So what do you guys do if you have a child who threw up once, no fever? I don't feel they need to go home, especially after throwing up once. I do call the parents, but should they stay in class?

I handle it case by case. However, if there is a plague going around the school... you get sent home! You get sent home! You get sent home! I'm like Oprah with the vomiters.

Things I consider for case by case: Did they just eat? Did they just have gym class? History of acid reflux? History of anxiety? Was it witnessed or is it "in the toilet"? What is student's clinic visit history like?

Many things to consider that aren't illness related 🙂
