Ds had an ear infection on Monday. Dr gave him anti biotics, to be taken 3 times a day. Ex dh came from London and looked after him on Monday. I took Tuesday off and had him at home. On Wednesday he was a lot better so I sent him to school.
HOWEVER, he is supposed to take anti biotics 3 x a day. He goes to breakfast club at 7.30am and is collected at 5.30pm, 4 days a week. On Fridays he doesn't go until 8.50am and ex dh or I collect at 3.30pm
Anyway, the school won't administer medecine, even if it's labelled etc. They suggested:
-
I give it first thing at 8.50am and at 3.30on and at bedtime. Not possible because of timings above
-
I get stronger anti biotics that need to be taken twice a day. Can't do as already have them and anyway, seems a mad idea
-
I keep him off, although he is fine, so I PERSONALLY can give him the lunchtime dose. Mad, he's fine, I work.
So, my solution has been to send the dose in in his lunchox in a small bottle and tell him to take it. He was told off for this today.
Solutions? Similar experience? What would you do? What is the answer for future? (I forgot to give them to him today as admitted to on other thread btw but anyway)
TIA for any views.
