OUCH - sounds sore.
If he is ok and the infection isn't likely to be contagious which is often the case I would consider taking him, however, In my policies I state 48 hours after being prescribed antibiotics, but that was written with an 'illness' in mind, but one cannot discount the affects of the antibiotics too.
But in this instance I would consider taking the child but this is entirely up to you, your policies, your plans for the day (if you have to be out and about etc...) and how confident you are in dealing with any issues that arise.
I think you also need to be aware of how bad the affected area is and how it is affecting him. Burns and infections can make you feel quite poorly, I say nursing a burn from my slow cooker - I can't think of anything else apart from how much it hurts.
If he has been prescribed medicine and cream it sounds quite bad. Double ouch. Good luck, if you decide to take him, tell mum that you are only doing so on the understanding that if you feel he should be at home you will contact her and expect collection ASAP and thank her for her honesty in telling you, just in case she is holding anything back and the fact that he has been throwing up all night due to side affect. No, a parent wouldn't do that

oh forgot to mention, just make sure it isn't impetigo!!! (often that is what cream and medicine is prescribed for), If thats the case he needs to stay at home, definately. And no covering it up with a plaster is not good enough.
The more I think about it, I think I would ask him to stay at home, depends how you can trust the parent, ask directly if it is impetigo!!

Has the blister been popped? DD had a finger infection a few months ago and DH had to pop it to let out all the pus. Yuk! The doctor told us to do it so that we could contain the 'mess' (did it in the bath) as it would have popped by itself at the slightest knock. She gave us a sterile needle. I kept her off nursery for a day (she also had a bad cold anyway) incase she forgot and went in the sand or something (we were told not to cover it). Sorry, not much advice as great advice given already. It was obviously easy for me to keep her off as I was at home anyway. Hope your hubby is feeling better. x

I hope you recorded the burns. 2 in a week! Has mum not learned. When I did my back in doctor was so pleased I didn't stop moving. Hd said lying in bed didn't help. Just constant moving. I am starting Pilates again to keep flexible.
