Would you take DD to Drs?

[loza0820]

I've noticed DD has what i think is an umbilical hernia.
I've called this Drs and they've offered us an appointment for her to be seen.

I'm just a little nervous of her going into a drs surgery at this time.

Would you take her or wait for things to calm down?

Probably safer than ever. In normal circumstances you have people with all sorts in the waiting room. Now, you most likely won’t come into contact with anyone else.

I have taken my baby to the doctor twice during lockdown for his jabs- the surgery was actually locked by the receptionist who let me in and locked the door behind me. she and the nurse who did the injections were both in masks, and we were the only people waiting in the waiting room before I went in.

I think the vast majority of GP appointments are currently phone only, I would definitely take your child in if you need to.
