Croup

[Tomkat2]

Hi,

I am a mum of 2 (4&6)
My 4 year old woke last night with croupy symptoms, since speaking to the doctor he suspects it is croup but very mild.
I was chatting to one of the other mums at my sons school about it and saw a mum and her mum suddenly turn around and start chatting as soon as I mentioned it and wouldn’t make eye contact, needless to say I felt like I was being judged and being gossiped about, is this a taboo subject in the playground I’ve never had this with my son.
Feeling pretty low about it to be honest feel like I’m not being a good mum.

I would say its not the fact that croup is a taboo subject, more so that you didn't get a Covid test!

First thing I did I have the lateral flow tests at home she was negative hence why doctor has said croup, myself and my partner have to test once a week for his job and the children are done at the same time.
