Hey ya'll
I have a dck who aquired an allergic reaction Monday night. (She was not in my care this day). Tuesday she was kept home and mom took her to emerg. seems to be a reaction to her new jammies that were not washed before she wore them to bed. (Of course this is an assumption because she has never reacted to anything before and it was likely not a food allergy as it was contained to her body, not her face.)
Doc told Mom just an allergic reaction, and prescribed meds and benedryl. She now has hives all over her face, hands, arms, legs, everywhere! She could have them for weeks apparantely.
My concern is other parents. Of course if you see this kid covered in a rash, would you not be VERY concerned abuot your own kids health!? I will tell them don't worry, its not a virus or infection, but just an allergic reaction.
Would you still ask that this child be kept home until rash has dissappeared, or do you think the other parents will be okay with the girl being at daycare?
There are no other symptoms, no fever etc
Thanks for input ;)
