Untreated, ear infections can lead to more serious complications, including mastoiditis (a rare inflammation of a bone adjacent to the ear), hearing loss, perforation of the eardrum, meningitis, facial nerve paralysis, and possibly -- in adults -- Meniere's disease.
DHEC publishes the School and Childcare Exclusion List each year. The Exclusion List explains how long an ill child, student, school employee, or childcare employee should stay out of school or childcare, and what is needed before the child/student or employee is permitted to return.
Many times, when a child is ostracized itâs the result of other kids being mean. But sometimes kids are excluded because they are lacking proper social skills. This does not mean your child is to blame for being excluded. The bullies and mean girls are still responsible for their choices. But you can help prevent future incidents by helping your child hone her social skills. Also, help your child develop the traits needed to cope with bullying.
