Hi,
I had a 3 year old who has been ill over the wknd with a high temp so mum took her to the doctor this morning and the doctor said she seems fine but will do urine test. So the child came to me around 11am after visiting the doctor. By about 12.15 the child's temp was 37.9 I rang mum and gave calpol. She then started to shiver said she was cold, her hands and feet were freezng and she looked terrible took temp about 30 mins after calpol and it had gone up to 38.8 so said that mum should collect as she was very unwell.
Mum agreed and I waited
Mum then called about half an hour later and said she wanted to know how she is and that she couldnt come yet, also that the doctor said she was ok. She asked me to to keep her until dad finished work as it would be nearly her collection time by the time she walked to get her anyway - so i offered to drive her but she declined.
I know that it is ok to take children when they have a cold but if they have a temp shouldn't they stay at home?
I can't beleive that no one would come and collect her!
Also when dad collected at 4pm he said she had a temp of 39.8 in the night?!!
What do you all think? if child has temp tomoz should I refuse to take?
many thanks
