For How Long Are Strep And Flu A And B Contagious?
My 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with strep and Flu A&B on Thursday. She has been taking her medicine since then. She really perked up yesterday and seems fine, at what point can we send her back out into the public again, without putting other people at risk or herself? She wants to go today.

Hi thanks for asking question.
She is suffering from influenza.
Usually first 7 to 10 days can be infective for other people through airborne transmission.
So for approx week it is better not to go outside and taking rest.
Whenever sneezing , use handkerchief for sneezing.
Drink more water.eat more fruits and fruits juice.
Maintain immunity to counteract influenza infection.
I hope I have solved your query.thanks.
