Really need to know what the infection is, to know whether it is contagious or not.

But also if it is not contagious, you need to know the general condition of the child. Are they well enough to participate in your general day ??

why would he be on anti b's for a viral infection? seems odd.

My dd's friend has just been diagnosed with a viral throat infection and no anti b's and she will be in school tomorrow

Thanks for replies, mum said they gave him anti b to clear up his green s***!

Anyway i said to her that not sure he should be attending and passing on to others so she agreed to keep him home, after all she is off today anyway!
