Fever Guidelines

If your child gets sick with fever and cough or sore throat, have your child stay home, except to get medical care, for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone. The fever should be gone without the use of a medicine, like acetaminophen (for example, Tylenol) or ibuprofen (for example, Motrin or Advil).
