Urgent!! After how long of having the flu are you not contagious?!?!?!
Question: I think i have the flu. Fever of 103.5 for 5 days now, shortness of breath, get light headed real easily, dry cough, head ache, no appetite, and nauseous, but not throwing up. I am feeling a little bit better to day (day 6) and i want to go to my sports game. I still have a high fever, but I am up for going tomorrow, even though i feel like crap, if I won't get others sick. Can I go to the game!?!?!?
Also i hang with my team like 24/7 if they were going to get sick, wouldn't they have gotten sick, before i started staying home sick, like 8 days ago when i was with them with a lower fever or something? Thanks
I am a 14 year old girl

The rule usualy is you are contagious as long as you have a fever.
You should be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
My daughter has the flu and she is not allowed back until at least the 24th of this month....doctors orders.
My other daughter had the flu a few weeks ago and she could not return to school for about a week and a half.
see your doctor for antiviral meds if you've had your symptoms for less than 3 days.
You've had a fever of 103.5 for 5 days?? You should see a doctor immediately. Do NOT go to the game, and stop hanging around the team when you're sick, for pete's sake. You need to go to a doctor and see what she has to say, then stay home and rest until you're healthy again.
