The most common illnesses I think you see are the common cold, ear infections, strep throat and flu. Some symptoms of these could be; the child behaving or looking different than normal, the child complains of not feeling well, visible rashes, vomiting, diarrhea or abnormal stool or a lot of coughing.
The most common injuries are typically scrapes, cuts and bruises from falling or tripping.

The illnesses most likely to go around are flu, cold, and cough. The injuries most likely seen are minor scrapes and bumps. Illness symptoms are runny nose, cough, mild fever, and aches. If a fever is over 100 degrees measured by the armpit and the child has additional symptoms like headache, earache, cough, vomiting then the child should be separated from the other children and staff, kept in constant watch by staff and the parent should be called and notified to come pick up their child. Minor injuries should be documented in the incident report and kept in child's file and parent notified when child is picked up. The staff should wash their hands, put on a pair of gloves, tend to the minor scrape or cut with washing the area and putting a band aid on. For bumps and bruising an ice pack can be offered to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Symptoms of Illnesses you can see - runny nose, coughing, lack of energy, red and watery eyes, swelling in the face, eyes and neck When noticing these symptoms call home immediately and get more information on these symptoms from the parents. You may suggest to the parents to keep the kid home until their conditions get better so that you protect other kids from getting sick.
Signs of an injury - any type of open wound or leaking of blood from the body, any abnormal deformity of any body limb. Any minor cuts should be cleaned and a bandage put over it immediately. If it's a major cut or deformity of any limb, the student should be seen by a physician immediately and a accident report should be filled out in full details. A copy of this needs to be given to the parents and one kept on file.

Some illnesses and injuries that a childcare professional is most likely to see are: common cold, flu (influenza virus), RSV, ear infection, superficial and minor injuries and others. Some of the symptoms are: fever, runny nose, cough, pain, discomfort, vomiting, unusual child behavior, scratches, minor cut and others. Caring for the child includes observation of her/his behavior, isolating and providing a calm and quiet area when necessary, carefully assisting the child, calling the parents and informing them about their child and asking for them to pick-up their child.

The most common illnesses I've seen have been colds and the most common injuries, bumps to the head and face; I work with infants to waddlers and toddlers, learning to manage their new immune systems and gravity. Depending on the severity and length of the cold and how it's affecting the child we may call the parent or inform them at pickp-up. Some symptoms can be puffiness in the face, red-rimmed or rubbing eyes, sneezing, lethargy, runny nose and sometimes fever. Keeping the child as mucous free as possible, providing plenty of fluids and isolating if needed in a quiet space in the classroom or crib is the method I've seen used. For the unfortunate bumps to the head and face, we immediately assess what treatment if any is needed, such as cold pack application. The director is called and parent is notified, followed by an incident report signed by parent at pick-up.
