Health Issues
Asthma
Asthma is a condition that affects the airways Breathing becomes
difficult because the airways become swollen, produce too much mucus and
the muscles around the airways tighten Asthma affects nearly 5
million
children under 18 years of age in the United States Children living in
urban areas and/or living in poverty have the highest incidence of asthma
Asthma Basics:
Asthma can range from mild to severe and can be life threatening
There is no cure for asthma at this time, but it can be controlled
A good management plan, developed by a health care provider that will
include medication, avoidance of triggers, and good health habits are
the most successful ways of dealing with asthma
Symptoms:
Symptoms may vary All these symptoms do not necessarily occur during an
asthma attack All symptoms should be taken seriously
Coughing
Wheezing
Shortness of breath
Tightness of chest
Asthma Triggers:
Smoke: Tobacco or factory
Animals
Mold
Cockroaches
Airborne pesticides
Strong odors
Exercise
Dust mites
Weather
Strategies for Asthma Management:
Work with your health care provider to develop an action plan that includes
a daily management plan and know what to do if you have an asthma attack
Know what happens during an asthma attack
Know what triggers your asthma and how to avoid those
triggers
Recognize your symptoms early
Know the difference between controller medicine and reliever medicine
Use a peak flow meter and keep an asthma diary so that you can let
your health care provider know if your asthma is getting worse

Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use
insulin Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use sugar Sugar
is the basic fuel for the cells in the body, and insulin takes the sugar
from the blood into the cells Over time, high blood glucose levels may
hurt your eyes, kidneys, nerves, or heart
Types of Diabetes
Pre-Diabetes: Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always
have pre-diabetes — blood glucose levels that are higher than normal
but
not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes There are 41 million
people in the United States, ages 40 to 74, which have
pre-diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and
young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes In type 1
diabetes, the body does not produce insulin People with type 1 diabetes
can control symptoms using insulin delivered by injections or a pump
Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes In
type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the
cells ignore the insulin Many people with type 2 diabetes can control
their blood glucose levels by following a careful diet and exercise
program, losing excess weight, and taking oral medication
Gestational Diabetes: Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before
but who have high blood sugar glucose levels during pregnancy are said to
have gestational diabetes Gestational diabetes affects about 4 of all
pregnant women - about 135,000 cases of gestational diabetes in the United
States each year
Symptoms
Often diabetes goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem so
harmless Some diabetes
symptoms include:
|Frequent urination |Unusual weight loss |
|Excessive thirst |Increased fatigue |
|Extreme hunger |Blurry Vision |
Management
Diabetes cannot be treated or cured; however, symptoms can be managed For
some persons with diabetes, management plans can include insulin and oral
medication However, working on a diabetes self-management plan with a
physician that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise are also very
important

Flu
Serious respiratory illnesses like influenza FLU, only common to children
1 year and below, whooping cough Pertussis, and Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome SARS are spread by coughing, sneezing, and unclean hands These
illnesses spread easily in crowded places, such as schools, where people
are in close contact
Flu Symptoms:
|Fever |Sore throat |
|Sneezing |Headache |
|Runny Nose |Muscle Aches |
|Coughing
|Feeling tired weak |
Fever usually last 3-4 days and symptoms can become severe
Taking Care of You:
Be sure to drink lots of clear fluids
Wash hands often with soap and water
Cover nose and mouth with tissue when coughing or sneezing
Check your temperature
Take over-the-counter drugs such as acetaminophen and Ibuprofen
AVOID ASPIRIN
Stay home and rest
Taking Care of Those around You:
When you are sick, it is possible to pass germs along to those around you
To stop the spread of germs and keep your loved ones healthy:
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue every time you cough or
sneeze THROW AWAY USED TISSUE IN A WASTE BASKET
If you didnt have a tissue, sneeze or cough into your sleeve
After coughing or sneezing, always clean your hands with soap and
water or an alcohol-based hand cleaner
Stay home when you are sick
Do not share eating utensils, drinking glasses, towels, or other
personal items
Taking Care of Your Children
Call your health care provider if your child:
has a high fever that does not respond to over-the-counter drugs such
as acetaminophen and
ibuprofen OR if the fever lasts longer than 3-5
days
has no interest in playing or other activities, especially after
his/her fever has come down
is irritable and cannot be calmed down
is not drinking fluids or keeping fluids down
Poor fluid intake can lead to dehydration, as can prolonged diarrhea
has difficulty breathing or is breathing fast and hard
4
Homelessness
Homelessness is still a widespread problem For the purposes of education,
the definition of homelessness is the lack of a fixed, regular, or
adequate space to live This includes:
Sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic
hardship or other reason
Living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, public spaces or camping
grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations
Living in emergency or transitional shelters
The law on homeless children:
Legal guidelines apply to youth age 18 and under who are living away
from their parents
Illinois schools must allow a homeless child/youth to enroll in school
immediately, even without
records, proof of residency, or any other
documentation Although the school may still request contact
information of the childs parent/guardian, they must comply with the
immediate enrollment of a child
A child is to be enrolled into a school even if previous school
records are missing, including transfer forms, transcripts, and
immunizations A school MUST assist in getting previous records
It is illegal for a school to separate a child from other children or
treat them differently because s/he is homeless
A school is required to inform a homeless family of available
transportation services
A homeless child is entitled to receive waivers for school fees,
uniforms, books, field trips, and locker and graduation fees
A child has the right to participate in any supportive services that a
school may provide:
V Hot meals/lunch programs
V Special education
V Bilingual education and services
V Vocational and/or gifted programs
V Before and after school activities
V Tutoring or academic support services
V Counseling
Tips for parents of homeless
families
It is helpful to the school for parents/guardians to bring a letter
from the shelter where they are staying, stating on the shelters
letterhead that the child is residing there
If a family is staying with relatives or in a motel, a letter from a
relative or case manager from DCFS needs to be submitted stating where
a child is living
Some schools offer a staff person who may act as an education liaison
between family/child and school Parents should ask the school if
this is available
To minimize falling behind academically and socially, a child is
allowed to stay at a previous school even if the family living
arrangements have changed Parents should insist on this arrangement
if the new distance is workable for the child

Homeless

Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning is most harmful to children 0-6 years of age and to pregnant
women The human body has no need for lead; even small amounts can be
hazardous to your health Effects
of lead poisoning can include: lowered
IQ, learning disabilities, and behavior problems Damage from lead
poisoning is not reversible
Important Facts:
Children ages 0-6 are at the greatest risk of lead poisoning Parents
should insist that their child be tested for lead poisoning The
first test should happen between 6-9 months, with a follow-up test
done every year through their sixth birthday depending on risk of
exposure
Children entering day care, nursery school, preschool, or kindergarten
must be screened for lead poisoning Proof of the screening must be
provided
10 /dl and above are currently levels of concern, per the CDC
guidelines
|Tips for prevention: |
|Get your child tested for lead poisoning |
|Wash childrens toys often |
|Have children wash their hands often, |
|including after playing outside, before |
|meals, and before bedtime |
|Make sure there is no peeling or chipping|
|paint in your home or on windowsills |
|Do not let your children eat paint chips,|
|dust or dirt |
|Do not bring lead dust into the home, |
|if you
work around lead |
|Let tap water run for 15-30 seconds |
|before using it for cooking or drinking |
|Have your home checked for lead hazards |
|before remodeling: Lead-safe work |
|practices are the key to lead safe |

6
Lice
Lice are a common problem among school-aged children It is important to
recognize a lice outbreak early and educate parents about lice Lice are a
nuisance, not a disease, and can be managed easily
Basic Facts about Lice:
Lice are very small, flat bugs the size of sesame seeds
The eggs are a dull white color and are called nits
They can be spread by close body contact from person to person
They do not hop, jump or fly
Anyone can get lice, but it is most widespread in children
Pets DO NOT spread head lice
Head lice live for approximately 30 days on a host and a female louse
may lay up to 100 eggs 6 eggs/day
Removed lice survive just a day or so, and the eggs generally lose
viability within a week The chances of a live head louse or egg
becoming reunited with a person would seem exceptional
How are lice spread?
Lice are spread from person to person on such items as headphones, helmets,
hats, scarves, sleeping bags, bedding, clothing, and anything that is used
on the head, hair, neck, and/or shoulders Lice attach themselves to
strands of hair and are most commonly found around the ears and at the base
of the neck
How can I treat lice?
The most common form of treatment is prescription medicine However,
sometimes treatments can be harmful to children with allergies, asthma,
epilepsy, and other medical conditions Because of this, you should check
with your doctor to decide which medicine is appropriate for
your child An
infestation can be eliminated by combing the hair each day to remove the
live lice Comb daily until no live lice are discovered for about two
weeks
To kill lice and nits, machine wash all washable clothing and bed linens
that the infested person wore or used during the 2 days before treatment
Use the hot water 130F cycle Dry laundry using high heat for at least
20 minutes Floors and furniture surfaces must be vacuumed regularly and
linens changed daily Items that cannot be washed, such as stuffed toys,
must be wrapped in a plastic bag for four weeks, in order to kill the lice
and any eggs

Ringworm
Ringworm can be a common problem for school-aged children Ringworm is
contagious for a period of 10 to 14 days, when found on the scalp, and 4 to
10 days, when found on the body Since ringworm can be contagious for a
long period, it is important to avoid a class-wide outbreak by
educating
parents as soon as possible
Basic Facts about Ringworm:
Ringworm is a type of fungus found on the skin, scalp, groin, nails,
and/or feet of humans
Ringworm can be spread directly and indirectly from skin to skin
Anyone can get ringworm
Animals can get ringworm and can also transmit ringworm
What does ringworm look like?
Ringworm starts as a small bump and spreads outwardly, leaving scaly
patches of hairlessness behind Lesions may occur on the scalp or on other
parts of the body The fungus will continue as long as the lesions are
present and active The infected area will usually become itchy
How is ringworm spread?
Ringworm is transmitted not only from person to person, but from common
areas such as the back of theatre seats, barber clippers, toilet articles,
or clothing contaminated with hair from infected persons Friction and
extreme sweating may increase the chances that ringworm of the body will be
transmitted For this reason, any child with uncovered ringworm lesions
should be restricted from participating in gym or other physical
activities There have also been documented cases of transmission from
infected animals
How can I
treat ringworm?
Treatment may require prescription medicine from a doctor While the
individual is being treated with medicine, they must also be sure to wash
the infected area every day and cover the lesions with a bandage or
dressing
