hello all
please can you help me if you can! - I've got a little one with me now who my gut instinct tells me isn't 100% BUT doesn't have a temperature
Mum arrived this morning and said had given calpol about an hour before arrival and I could tell that the little one was FULL of cold. Parent said they seemed a little "under the weather"....
(I'm a total soft touch)
She has been wheezing, coughing and nose streaming and crying but also had bursts where she is happy to eat (offered some toast and ate this happily)
She is asleep now (very out of character for this time of day)
I don't want to call mum for no reason but my gut also tells me that I don't want to be ill and I can't afford to close......had it before with this little one where they were sent to me and parent said they were "teething" and me, my LO and hubby were all ill over the weekend.....
would you send home?! - never been in quite this situaiton before and don't want to bring mum out unnecessarily but this is quite a hack of a cough and quite a wheeze...
sorry to ramble on but if someone could help or offer advise I'd be so grateful
I don't want to make the mum angry! IYSWIM! But at the same time I know I must put LO first
