Morning. My little boy isn’t very well. He has been coughing and snotty for a few days, sent him to school on Monday and he was ok, just very snotty. Monday night he was awake a lot coughing and just seemed fed up. Kept him off school and took him to the docs. She diagnosed chest and throat infection and gave antibiotics.
He started these yesterday and will continue until sat.
The thing is in the day he doesn’t seem ill, just coughing. But he’s playing and laughing and normal. I asked the doc about school and she said if he was hers she would keep him off. In the past he has really struggled with his chest and has been hospitalised many times, but the last time was over a year ago.
Would you keep him off or let him go in? He’s in reception and only been at school 3 weeks. If he was still at preschool I wouldn’t hesitate to keep him off but now he’s at school I just don’t know.
I don’t want to be one of those mums that takes them out because of a cold but this is more than that!
