would you take sick children out in car for a spin?

[hermykne]

dh thinks NO, i think yes for my sanity
they both have that awful coughing
and dd has a terrible terrible runny noses and eyes - and on an antibiotic which is doing feck all for her IMO..

quick spin, break the day up and maybe a lolly for their hoarse throats

I think its a good idea, especially if you have a window open alittle for some fresh air.

yes i would. infact I would wrap them up and take them for a walk.

I would. Nothing worse than sick kids with cabin fever!

thank you girls, i too thought the cold air might vaporise the blasted germs from breeding...

calling DH calling DH

definitely

yes i agree i think fresh air is good for anyone who is not feeling well. as long as they are well wrapped up, they will enjoy it.

Best thing for coughs/bad chests, a good bit of fresh air, sea or mountain air if poss.
As you say, good for your sanity as well, an ice lolly will cheer everyone up

sure wrap them up take a flask make a day of it - beats the crap out of sht sht sh*t xmas tv.

I would.

I would too.

Yep - they are not sicky sick, as in throwing up (Im thinking of the state of the car here!), fresh air will do you all a world of good.

I have done this in the past. Sometimes you just have to get out of the house. I did it when dd had chicken pox, dh was in Australia at the time!

I wrapped her up well and we'd go out in the car, drinks for them, a flask of coffee for me. kept me sane.

I made sure we all stayed in the car, so no-one else was at risk IYSWIM

Certainly. Would avoid other children/pregnant mums if infectious, but otherwise I think you need to get out - I would definitely go mad otherwise.
