One of my mindees mum just txt me to say her dd(2) got tonsilitus on antibiotics. Just read some other threads in this subject and seen that most give 24-48 exclusion periods if on antibiotics unless had the before. Mindee has had before. Only got her 3 hrs tomorrow and told mum about exclusion etc and said see how she is overnight if worse won't take her if ok as had antibiotics before will take as only a few hours. Problemnow got a potential parent coming in the morning( not sure if bringing child) should I call and warn her do u think it will be ok as probably only here for an hour or so . If she comes with child the child is 1. Think I should call and let her know but won't know if having Mindee till morning. Parent coming after school run !!!!

If mindee has only just got antibiotics I wouldn't have thought they would be well enough to come tomorrow really. I would tell mum you won't accept until fever is managed without medicine.

I would ask mum to keep mindee away if only just started a/b's as Juggler says. It is contagious, so you dont want to run the risk of catching it. Good luck with new parent:)

Just had it myself and was told that it can only be spread by fluid. So best to warn the parent but for a first meet it shouldn't be a problem.

hi my 8 month old has just had it and when i asked the doc for advise about work he explained that there are two types . viral and bacterial and my lo had viral so no way pf preventing others getting it around her. He advised i kept her away from my mindee for 2/3 days until the anti biotics began to work x
