A member asked:
8 year old had the flu or virus (neg flu test) over weekend. no fever, seems much better today but still coughing. school tomorrow? still contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The flu is contagious for a week from first symptoms. The everyday viruses are contagious while they have fever but the germ is seldom passed when they are fever free for a day.
