How many days should B-type flu symptoms be isolated? Sharing a kindergarten mom's review

It has been three months since our child started kindergarten.
A few days ago, I started feeling weak and had a slight fever.
At first, I thought it was just a simple cold, but then my fever kept rising and went over 38 degrees...
I took him to the hospital just in case, and he was diagnosed positive for type B influenza.

 

I have a fever, I cry out that my body hurts like muscle pain, and my appetite has also dropped significantly.
Even though I hardly had a cough and my runny nose wasn't severe, I still have the flu...


The incubation period for type B influenza is usually about 1 to 4 days.
It had only been a few days since my child came into contact with a cold patient at kindergarten.

 

When will isolation for type B influenza be lifted in schools and kindergartens?

My biggest concern was the isolation period for type B influenza.
Our child is a toddler, so stopping attendance is necessary.


At the daycare, children can return only after at least 5 days of isolation and 24 hours after symptoms have disappeared.

 

Similarly, students can only attend school once their high fever subsides and they are able to resume activities.
It actually took about 5 to 7 days for the child's condition to recover.

 

But it really spreads faster than I thought.
It seems we need to be more cautious in households with siblings.

 

 

This time, experiencing type B influenza for the first time, I realized that


1) It is easy to mistake early symptoms as a common cold because they are vague.
2) Since cold medicine doesn't solve the problem, going to the hospital quickly is the answer.
3) If confirmed, you must give up attending school or going to work for at least 5 days.

 

The medication was prescribed as an influenza virus suppressant.
Since they are a young child, an antipyretic was also prescribed.


The child's fever subsided and improved after about 2 to 3 days of taking medication, but...
My physical strength has definitely declined, so I plan to stick to a manageable schedule for the time being.

To summarize...

 

- Type B influenza incubation period: 1 to 4 days
- Symptoms: Mild fever, muscle aches, loss of appetite, less coughing
- Isolation: at least 5 days after high fever subsides / after 24 hours without symptoms before attending school or returning to school
- Infectivity: as strong as type A. Can spread quickly in kindergartens and schools.
- Treatment: hospital prescription + antipyretic + rest

 

Have others also experienced type B influenza?

 

It seems that there is quite a bit of B-type flu transmission among kids these days.
When do you all plan to resume attending?
I'm wondering if they were sent immediately after the B-type flu isolation period ended.

    저희 아들이 독감이였던것 같은데 ㅜㅜ 그냥 감기로 알고 넘 고생했어요ㅜㅜ
    진짜 다른데 말이죠... 빠른 치료 필요한걸 느꼈네요ㅠㅠ 그리고 전염성도 생각보다 강한 것 같구요ㅜㅜ
    
    아이가 독감으로 많이 힘들껀데 얼른 낫길 바랍니다. 
    그리고 등원은 보통 학교, 유치원마다 다르긴 해도 기본 해열제 안먹고 (정상체온) 24시간을 보더라구요~ 
    그 뒤는 아이 컨디션도 봐야하고... 엄마 판단 같아요... ^^

    감기가 이렇게 아프다니 놀랍네요.. 
    저도 코로나 때 이렇게 많이 아팠었는데요.

    독감이 은근히 많이 전파가 되더라고요 그리고 상당히 위험하고 그래서 학생들 사이에서는 일단 전파가 되면 바로바로 알리고 격려하는게 오를 거 같습니다 최소 일주일 이상은 하던 거 같더라고요

    OK
    글쎄요 맘카페나 해당 커뮤니티 가시면 더 자세한 답변을 받아보실 수 있지 않을까요? 최대한 도움 드려보자면 격리 기간이 끝났다면 등원해도 될 듯 합니다!
