School or No School?

[TulipsAndWings]

6yo dd has a cold, her temperature was up to 39 last night. This morning it's 37.9, I've given her calpol but temp has stayed the same.
She's eaten breakfast and is putting her clothes on wanting to go to school.

I don't know whether to send her. If it was nursery I'd keep her off, she looks a bit pale. But on the other hand she's had quite a few days off this year from 2 d&v bugs and another flu type bug, all much more serious than this.

NHS website says kids should stay off with a temp. Does 37.9 count?

My mother would always send us to school, unless we physically couldn't get out the door.

Wwyd?

If she wants to go I'd send her

I would send her in, the school can always send her home if she gets worse

They often have constant colds throughout winter
You can't keep them off for a cold tbh

I'd send her

Thanks, she went it.
