DS diarrhoea

My DS woke with this in the night & has been bad this morning too-although absolutely fine in himself. I had bit of a dodgy tum yesterday morning so putting it down to some salmon we had Friday night but how do we know if it's that or a tummy bug??

You don't

But you do need to follow your exclusion period so 48 hours from the last bout

I would follow my sickness policy and wouldn't take any chances

I agree with others...do not work for 48 hours.
Better to be safe than sorry

Agree with the others 48 hour rule from last bout. Maybe it wasn't dodgy salmon but a tummy bug that didn't affect you as bad?

Thanks guys, you all confirmed what I was thinking. Just concerned as one parent decided not to bring her younger daughter 2 weeks ago when DS had hand foot & mouth - and now she can't come again! x

Are there any childminders near you that could cover? just to help the parent out just for a few days
