    Influenza b
    Two of my children, my husband and I are all positive for enfluenza b and taking tama flu. How long should they be kept out of school. And my other two children are not positive and on tama flu preventatively. Do they need to be kept home as well?

    My husband took the boys with him. He said she said to get the girls out of school and on tama flu. My husband is saying until they are off it. But for my daughters who are negative that means ten days. Also, she originally said I was positive for strep had me on antibiotics then caught the error the next day. So just getting a second opinion.

    I'd go by what the doctor told your husband and call them to clarify. You don't want to go against your doctor's wishes if he/she had a good reason to keep the girls out of school, also.
