Suggest Treatment For Rota Virus Infection
My son was just discharged from 3 days in the hospital for rota virus and C Diff.He was treated for the rota virus,c diff and dehydration,and was treated with Flagyl.The only thing that the doctor told me was that he could not be around anyone who is on antibiotics or who has recently gotten off of antibiotics.He is doing a full 14 day round of flagyl.Can i send him back to school or do i need to keep him out til he sees his PCP.

the rota virus is contagious for 10-12 days after the symptoms begin, so yes you can send him back to school
