Paranoid about child in school

I just dropped my DD of at reception and she is loving it. Shes still doing half days. She has suspected asthma as she is so young it's hard to tell. She has had a bad cough for over a month but it's so much better now. She was tested at the start of the cough and about a week ago before she started school. We all did, all negative. And she is barely coughing anymore. This morning she woke up and was wheezy a tiny bit so I gave her inhaler and she was fine. She has one and school so I just let the teacher know and asked if she would keep an eye on her but I feel totally fine about her being there. Her asthma is really mild compared to other people in my family, and when you grow up with someone with bad asthma it's easier to know when to worry. I think she might grow out of it as she has already grown out of her eczema she had as a baby. But I am so so so paranoid about other parents judgement at this time :( I have done everything right in I feel but I wish everyone knew that. I told her teacher about keeping an eye on her and I felt everyone was listening and looking. I know I am paranoid. But I just worry they dont think I'm taking all the steps. :( I dont feel like I could of done more. We dont do much out side of school, I only take her to the park as we dont have a garden. But I cant explain to everyone that I am being so careful and she has been tested recently. We are in a very low infection rate area too.

You've done nothing wrong. Ignore any judgy behaviour from others.

Your DD seems to have asthma. She isn't otherwise ill and it seems to be under control. She has been tested for Covid 19 and had negative results.

There is nothing further you can do.

The problem now is that some people seem to think that Covid 19 is the only thing you are allowed to have wrong with you and the only reason people cough or wheeze. That simply isn't true at all.

Just keep going as you are.
