I discovered last night that my 5 year old has worms. She was so uncomfortable and screaming crying because they were bothering her so much last night so I went to put some sudocream on her bum thinking she’d just wiped too hard but instead I was shocked to see the wriggly little thing just there.
We’ve both been treated but she’s spent the day at home with me as she was awake more than she was asleep last night and is completely wiped out. I called her school and they said she was fine to go in tomorrow, and everything online says she can return to school as soon as she’s had the medicine but I just don’t know how comfortable I am with this.
Obviously her attendance is important to me but her comfort absolutely tops that. I don’t want to send her in if she’s in any way not feeling completely herself. Am I being dramatic and I should just send her in?
