My son is in the second grade. He fell ill on Friday with a runny nose and a sore throat. Yesterday his fever stayed around 98.8°F for about half a day. Now the runny nose is back. He’s running around the house with his younger sibling. Tomorrow will be the fourth day of his illness. Should I keep him home from school or send him to school?

Not all colds are the same.
You can miss three days without a doctor's note (that's how we do it). I would keep my child home for one more day tomorrow, and if the runny nose doesn't interfere with normal life, I would send them to school on Tuesday.

You may be absent until Friday due to family circumstances. I will make a decision on Thursday.

For us, this isn't a disease—it's part of going to school.

I would, just to be safe, give her another day or two to rest, and then on Tuesday take her to the pediatrician to make sure everything is okay.
My older daughter fell ill last year. She didn't have a fever during the first week, but she had a severe episodic cough.
We went to the pediatrician from the very first day of illness; four days later we went again.
The pediatrician gave a clearance and told us to send her to school, even though the cough was still strong.
That same evening her fever rose to 40°C and would not come down with anything.
We were rushed by ambulance to the infectious diseases hospital.
There they did an X-ray, which showed bilateral pneumonia.
My daughter spent two weeks in the infectious diseases ward.
Since then I take my children to the pediatrician even for a simple runny nose.

Mine's been the same since Friday too. But I definitely won't be going tomorrow.

If the daytime temperature is 37.1°C, it could rise by the evening.
I wouldn’t send them to school.
