Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
There have been recent reports of pink eye making its rounds around the local schools. Conjunctivitis is highly communicable and can be spread quite easily from one person to another. I am providing this information to inform you of the best practices for prevention and/ or recurrence of this common infection.
What is Conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis (also known as “Pink Eye”) is an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that lines your eyelid and part of your eyeball.
Causes of Conjunctivitis:
Viruses and Bacteria may cause conjunctivitis. It may affect one or both eyes.
Symptoms:
• Redness in one or both eyes
• Itchiness in one or both eyes
• A gritty feeling in one or both eyes
• A discharge in one or both eyes that forms a crust during the night
• Tearing
Prevention:
Preventing the spread of pink eye
Pink eye spreads very easily from one person to another. It is important to practice good hygiene to control the spread of pink eye. For example:
• Don’t touch your eyes with your hands
• Wash your hands often
• Use a clean towel and washcloth daily
• Don’t share towels or washcloths
• Change your pillowcase often
• Throw away your eye cosmetics, such as mascara
• Don’t share eye cosmetics or personal eye-care items
Parents/Guardians we advised that children should not attend school during the communicable phase of this illness. This is when there is active drainage and secretion from the eyes. Should you have further questions in regard to Conjunctivitis, please contact the me at 928-428-0477.
Thanks,

Handwashing
Here are 4 easy steps to clean hands:
1- Get your hands wet in clean water. Put soap on your hands and make suds.
2- Rub rub rub your soapy hands together long enough to sing “Happy Birthday” in your head twice. Clean your palms, the back of your hands, and between your fingers. Don’t forget to clean under your nails. Nails can trap dirt and germs.
3- Hold your hands under clean, running water. Rub them to rinse them fully.
4- Shake your hands a few times, then dry them with a clean towel or hand dryer. Done!

MANAGING ALLERGIES AT SCHOOL
Does your child miss school due to allergies? If so, you're not alone.
On any given day, about 10,000 of those children miss school because of their allergies. That's a total of more than 2 million lost school days every year. Even if your child doesn't miss school, allergies can get in the way of a productive school day, so managing allergies at school is an important part of caring for your child's health.
Managing Allergy Symptoms at School
Symptoms like fatigue, headache, sneezing, runny noses, watery eyes, and itchiness can get in the way of attention and concentration, and the medications taken to manage these symptoms can also interfere with school performance. What's a parent to do?
At home, you can do a lot more to control your child's environment and limit exposure to allergens than you can at school. But it's worthwhile to ask your child's teacher or school health aide how they handle allergies at school.
Treating Allergies at School With Prescription Nasal Sprays
If your child has moderate to severe allergies, simple environmental control measures and over-the-counter medications probably will not control their symptoms well enough. For these children, the best method of controlling many allergy symptoms is prescription nasal steroids, according to Pediatricians who specialize in childhood allergies.
You only need to use a prescription nasal spray once a day, and they work best at controlling [nasal] allergy symptoms. They're the preferred first-line treatment.
Turning to Antihistamines for Allergies at School
If you can't get your child to use a nasal spray, or if the sprays aren't completely controlling your child's allergy symptoms at school, then antihistamines are your next step. Antihistamines help reduce the symptoms of itching, sneezing, and runny nose.
Many parents worry that prescription antihistamines will leave their children groggy and unable to concentrate. Although antihistamines can have a slight sedating effect, untreated allergies will make your child even drowsier and distracted.
Talk to your child's doctor to get a prescription for one of the antihistamines approved for young school-age children. There are quite a few available, including Allegra, Claritin, Xyzal, and Zyrtec.
If you have any questions about medication that we keep in the Nurses’ office for allergies please feel free to contact me at anytime. Here at Solomon I am able to administer different over-the-counter or prescribed allergy medications as needed, to a student as long as the medication administration authorization paperwork has been completed, signed and given to the Nurse or School Office.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!!
