toddler + viral infection + nursery?
So after over a week of my DS being up and down, temperatures, clingy, not sleeping or eating, he's now been diagnosed with not one but two viral infections. The first in his ears,which we suspected as he said they were sore, and the other as a rash over his body! He's been put on penicillin - although only because my husband insisted on it, doctor refused at first - for a week. It's the first time he's been on penicillin so I'm a little nervous about whether he's allergic to it or not, neither my husband nor myself are, so hoping he'll be OK too.
But what I'm wondering now is will he be able to go to nursery the next three days? I know they don't allow children in if they've got chicken pox or sickness bugs but what about viral infections? anyone been in this situation before?
Whilst I'd love not to have to come into work for the rest of the week, I don't get paid for time off and ended up with one day off last week and having to leave early twice, so not sure how work will feel (although they'll just have to deal with it!)if I have to have the rest of the week off!

Antivirals are the medication for viruses and these tend to be prescribed more sparingly.

Tonight you wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with him, he covered the bathroom in water and emptied his toybox - toddlers certainly bounce back!
