A message from Nurse Collins:
Dear Families,
Unfortunately, Nayatt School continues to see a rise in confirmed strep infections this week.
How can you tell if your child’s sore throat is strep throat?
A general rule of thumb is that strep throat usually causes a sudden sore throat, fever, nausea and swollen, tender glands on the side of the neck. In some cases, the strep bacteria make a toxin that causes a bright red, bumpy rash that spreads over most of the body. This is known as scarlet fever and often looks like a bad sunburn with fine bumps that may feel rough like sandpaper, and it can itch.
In contrast, sore throats that are caused by cold viruses or allergies usually have a more gradual onset and will be accompanied by a runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing or cough.
Strep throat is caused by a bacteria and will require an antibiotic to get better. The bacteria that cause strep throat can also cause impetigo, a common (and contagious) bacterial skin infection. Impetigo causes red sores that can break open, ooze fluid, and develop a yellow-brown crust. These sores can occur anywhere on the body.
To prevent getting other people sick, children with a strep infection should not return to school until at least 24 hours after starting antibiotic treatment, and any fever is gone without the use of over the counter medication.
Please notify the school nurse if your child is diagnosed with a strep infection, or if you have any questions or concerns.
Warmly,
Nichole Collins, RN
