Temperature after first day in nursery

[Ames19]

My son started nursery properly yesterday! He came home and was really tired because he didn't have a nap. So he was all comfy on the couch watching blippi.

Then realised he was absolutely roasting! Took his temp and it was high give him some calpol. That kind of brought his temp down and he perked up a bit, gave more calpol before bed but he was up every hour crying and he was so hot and his temp spiked up again!

Had to keep him off nursery today and I've stayed off work with him! He's been so sleepy all day!

Like I knew this would happen just didn't expect it after one day 😂

Might have caught something from a settling in session? Anyway get used to it. The first three months after DS joined nursery was torture

@Ozanj yeah that's true! I didn't even think of his settling in sessions! He's probably got it from that!

Oh really was it? I've been warned about the amount of times he will be unwell and pick something up when he starts nursery 😩 just wasn't expecting it so soon!

Expect it.

He will catch new bugs at least weekly for at least the first year.

It's horrendous.

Our nursery now have a 48 hour post temperature exclusion policy due to covid. Given that my kids pick up a temperature every other week, it’s so disruptive. They need a covid test with every temperature too

Have you gone for a PCR test? All tempretures need testing.

Yep nursery is just one big Petri dish isn’t it?

You need a covid PCR

My DD started in April and has had a covid test about once a week since It's not made returning to work the easiest 🤦🏼‍♀️

4 months since starting and we've had something new almost weekly!
It's horrendous 😂

As your child has not been mixing they will go down with lots more bugs than normal thats thr problem with COVID lockdown....adults will also get more than before.
Every time you need to do a PCR

You will need to book a PCR test
