When otherwise fine? DD had a bit of a cold over the weekend, did an lft and negative better and back to school . No probs.
DS got an ever so slight runny nose, a bit sneezy and congested. Barely noticeable and no other symptoms. Kept him off yesterday just in case It got worse which it didn't, he's been eating, running around and being silly. Nothing wrong with him.
sent him back today. He some congestion on his nose but not runny. No other symptoms. Totally fine in himself.
i know covid can present as a runny nose but so can a cold. Ds had covid a while ago, I know he could get it again...
took him to school and was totally spoken down to by the head. He was off with cold symptoms yesterday, why is he in? Could it be covid.
I was taken aback because Usually they are hot on attendance and want them in.
Ds literally has slight nasal congestion - no cough, no fever, not poorly at all. I wouldn't send him in when he was ill.
if his nose was running like a tap, id keep him off but it isn't, just a bit blocked.
Ds then proceeded to tell his teacher his throat hurt but that was from all the screaming at me this morning. We are currently going through phases of school refusal (he has sen). This is another reason I don't want to keep him off unless he was actually poorly. Multiple days off make things harder when he goes back.
I thought I was doing the right thing by sending him? Now totally questioning myself. Can we really keep our kids off every time they have a bit of a snotty nose anymore?!
