I've just had a discussion with someone about keeping their child off school after throwing up.
This is to stop the bug spreading isn't it?
They told me that the child is fine this morning and that they are more infectious before being sick and there is no point keeping them home after sickness, the damage is already done. They're not medically trained maybe they heard this on Holby city?
I've googled this and I can't seem to find clarification. There's lots confirming the rules is 48 hrs after the last sickness bout; but can't find anything convincing explaining why.
Can anyone help?
