Child been awake since 3 - keep off school?

My 4yo has been awake since about 3am maybe earlier. He's got a cough and saying he feels a bit "weird" but has been seeming otherwise well in himself.
He woke up around half 2/3 and couldn't get back to sleep so we are now downstairs.
Would you keep him off school today? He's in reception.
He seems ok but I just think he's gonna be exhausted now!

Yes I would keep at home. I wouldn't send a child in with a cough anyway in current times.

I'd keep him off as he'll be shattered and is feeling weird.

If I kept them off with just a cough though they'd never be there with the hay fever cough doing the rounds this year!

He's young and will catch up more easily when he's feeling himself.

I'm keeping one of mine off on mildly suprious reasons today, he has been off in the week and having had to collect him and check him over yesterday, it's simpler to keep him off and bring him along with my plans than risk phone call roulette while I'm not accessible.

He seems quite happy in himself but I've kept him off because I think the early morning will catch up with him, hopefully he can have an afternoon snooze.
