Why is it always on a bloody Friday?

[ineedastrongercoffee]

why do you kids always get really poorly on a Friday, normally around 4pm??

DD3 mildly snotty all week with a bit of a cough but coping really well. Now it’s pretty much a continuous awful cough as she’s sleeping. No temperature thank goodness

seriously though always on a bloody Friday with no access to GP until Monday morning (obvs I know I can call 111 if she deteriorates).

I’d be over the moon - no need to juggle work/childcare.
fingers crossed it’s nothing serious, and you can have snuggly weekend

The two times we've had to go to A&E (thankfully turned out to be nothing serious) have both been Friday evenings! If she's otherwise okay, I'd let her sleep it off. There seem to be a lot of coughs going round at the moment. Hopefully it's nothing and she feels better in the morning!

The cough seems to be bothering me way more than it does her at the moment so fingers crossed it doesn’t get any worse

I'm in the same situation as your daughter! I work in a school so may be something to it. I suppose you contract whatever it is at the beginning of the week then by the time it's progressed to clearing (via coughing) it's at the end of thr week? Worth noting a cough is usually at the end of an infection and usually when you're least infectious. Just a case of shifting the stuff left in your throat. It sounds worse that sniffing but it's actually a sign it's coming to an end. Obviously if it gets worse ask for help.

Dd16 and twins 11. Yes, always a flipping Friday afternoon. Wtaf.

I was literally having the exact same thoughts earlier OP. Mine is sick with snotty nose, constant cough and temperature today... which peaked at 7pm. I thought, why on a Friday night?! Why always on the weekend?!
Hope Your DD makes a swift recovery

It’s cos they’re run down and tired after a week at school!
Same in my house

I have twins too and honestly if it’s not one it’s the other, always something to worry about x

Thank you, same to you too, hope it clears soon

its just the noise of the cough when she’s sleeping, it literally goes through me 😢

Yes my dd has asthma and she always has asthma attacks on a Friday night or Saturday! I live in the middle of nowhere and the nearest OOH is 30 miles away!

I used to take them to the GP and get a "just in case prescription" on a Friday with instructions of when to fill it (ie what symptoms they needed to have). Probably filled it 1 in 5 times. GP was fine with it.
