Should you keep children off school for 24 hours after the runs like you do with sickness.

Ds (6.9) had the runs last week, and it started again yesterday, not sure if he still has as he is still in bed, so decided to leave him and give him the day off, if he wakes up fine should I take him in to school?

Oh, I shall ring the school and find out then, thanks

Yes you should leave at least 24 hours since he last had the runs. It may even be 48 hours as themildmanneredjanitor says.

Have just called the school, they say 24 hours, thanks for the advice.

Thats the strange thing, he feels fine in himself, has an appetite and still racing around like a hooligan.

48 hours at our school too....even when DD1 was sick after eating too much banana at lunchtime!

48 hors at our school too, even though the next day he was well enough to dive me crazy!
