Adult dd and her dcs all have cold symptoms with a cough

[Kaylasmum49]

My dd has just told me that her household are full of the cold. They all have a cough with the 8 month old being the worst.

Should she go for a test or treat it just as a cold. Her dd goes to school and her ds goes to nursery. My 17 yo dd has lfts in the house, would there be any point in giving one of these to my dd or so they not work if you have symptoms?

@WaitingForNormality - It's just wholly inconsiderate and selfish not to think of the wider implications of sending in kids to school with "just a cough".

Absolutely.

I'm sorry she's being difficult OP.

I'm sorry her mental health is suffering but I'm more sorry that people like her behave in such a selfish way.

She most likely has a cold, she could have tested yesterday, results this morning and back to school etc knowing the dc were not infecting people.

How awful that people can be so so selfish it makes me so cross

it might of course be a cold.
mumsnet cannot do anything op.
you have said your piece
she is an adult who needs to make the judgement call.

hopefully your dd is sticking to social distancing.
