Dr. Sarah Mulder discusses symptoms that are serious enough to keep you or your child inside for a sick day.
TRAVERSE CITY -- "If they're too sick to concentrate on school, what's the point of going,'" says Dr. Sarah Mulder with the Traverse Area Pediatric and Adolescent Clinic in Traverse City.
It happens all of the time. You, or your child, wake up with a sore throat, a cough or a slight fever. You think you can tough it out and go to work, but by going to work or sending your child to school, you could be doing more harm than good.
"It's one of the questions I get most often," says Mulder. "There are certain times we know that you or your child shouldn't be at school or at work."
