Dr. Chheda – A common question parents ask: “Should I send my child to school if they’re sick?” The short answer? No! ❌

💡 In an ideal world, kids would stay home when sick—to recover faster and prevent others from getting sick. But in reality, we know that’s not always possible.

🚨 If your child has a fever, keep them home!

1️⃣ They won’t be able to focus at school.

2️⃣ Their body needs rest to heal.

3️⃣ Exertion will prolong their illness.

🤧 Even with mild symptoms like a runny nose or cough, it’s best to keep them home to avoid spreading germs.

🛡️ How to prevent frequent sickness?

✅ Teach kids to wash hands often ✋

✅ Have them eat fruits & veggies 🍎🥦

✅ Encourage proper rest & hygiene 💤

A strong immune system keeps them healthy! 💪
