My daughter came home from nursery last week with a pretty common occurrence of a runny nose/start of a cold.. on Thursday, it was full blown coughing, sneezing, extremely snotty cold.
Her cough is very productive & 100% related to the amount of snot she’s producing. It’s worse at night as it usually is but she is coughing to clear her chest in the day on and off .. she’s had no fever & isn’t unwell, so I’m certain there’s no infection. Just a typical cold.
I have self isolated her as I felt unsure what to do but I’m now wondering about nursery this week? She’s getting over her cold & full of beans, so under normal circumstances I’d have sent her in. But should I be following the 7 day guidelines because she has some form of cough? Or is it specifically a dry cough I’m looking for? And what if any cough is not particularly persistent?!
Finding the guidelines hard to interpret ..don’t want to put anyone at risk!
