Strep a

[anxietythrewtheroof]

Is there anyone feeling scared to send there children to school regarding this?

Nope.

Nursery here, but no.

Nope

Yes I am worried about sending DD but I'm still going to. As soon as there's any cases in the school though she'll be off/coming home

Not worried, no. I mean, I dont want them to get sick but it's like this every year. We usually have scarlett fever and noro doing the rounds at this time of year, so it's not any different.

I'm not scared, but frustrated by the constant illness this year. Everyone my kids recover from something and return to school they immediately catch something else. Currently been waiting since last night to hear from out of hours as they have what I think may be strawberry tongue. I'm not convinced it's strep related as although they have coughs and snot they have no fever and aren't too sick. But there have been cases in both their schools and mine and they have white coatings on their tongues and pink spots so thought it best to check. The worrying thing is how hard it is to get help when you are concerned. All I have had is two calls from someone at out of hours who tells me they aren't medically trained and someone else will call later. What on earth is the point in employing someone to do that?
