Please excuse me, it's my first post...so I'll apologise in advance :D
I'm just wanting other peoples thoughts and opinions on this (always dangerous I know!).
My daughter has had recurrent ear infections since last November, to the point where it's been one ear one week and the next ear the next week. And over the last 7 months we've been in and out of the Dr's with various antibiotics and ear drops to try (there was a thought it was eczema related at one point). I've finally had her referred to the ENT specialist, and she's now been prescribed amoxycillin (which she's had several times before, along with stronger penicillin-based antibiotics) and low-level antibiotics for 3 months.
Her nursery have a policy whereby she has to have 24hrs off at the start of every course of antibiotics. Now this obviously got to the point of being ridiculous, as they said if she stopped the antibiotics for a day then she would need another 24hrs off, and she was on them every other week. So I discussed with the nursery whether she could go into nursery if she had the same antibiotics, with a dr's note stating she'd had them before & hadn't reacted. They agreed and she's been in once this year under this provision.
However, it's been about 6wks since her last ear infection which required antibiotics, and they have now said that she has to have 24hrs off because they are no longer in her system and that the break can only be for a few days.
Should I push the nursery to stick by our original agreement regardless of the length of time?
