My DD woke up last Wednesday with a sore throat and cough. I kept her off school for that day and then by Thursday she was much worse and spent all day in bed complaining that it hurt to open her mouth. On friday it wasn't much better and I had an appointment with a doctor over the phone who said it sounded like a viral throat infection and to keep her off school for a couple of days rest until it got better. He asked about coughs and temperature and diarrhoea and she had none of them until friday night she had a bad stomach ache and diarrhoea, no temperature or cough and she slept properly after that. We still don't know why that was. Fast forward to now, she has a cough and keeps coughing up phlegm, she also has asthma and this is usually how a cold ends for her. She can now open her mouth, speak, eat, swallow as normal but she has a pretty bad cough and asthma and I don't think it would be right to send her into school with a cough during these times of covid. Do I keep the rest of her siblings off school just because she is ill or should she just stay at home until she is better?
