I have a 3yr old dcb. He's been with me for almost 2 years. Every single time he gets a cold his nose runs for 3 weeks, if not more. It's not clear, its thick yellow snot which hangs to his chin. I'm mopping him up 10 x an hour. No exaggeration. Now allergy season is here and it is constant. I'm tired of going thru boxes an boxes of kleenex, I'm sick of having to clean off furniture, toys and other kids arms and clothes cause DCB is getting snot EVERYWHERE.

I've mentioned it to the parents several times, they just brush it off "ha-ha, yeah, it's allergies, or yeah, its just a cold" um. yeah. Problem is, he spends 9 hours at daycare getting everything contaminated with his bodily fluids.

This morning I mentioned it yet AGAIN to dcd. I'm planning to tell them at pick up that if his nose it still the same on Monday, that he cannot attend until he is looked at. If it's allergies, get him some medication to stop the perpetual snot. If its a cold, maybe they could look at why it won't stop!

Have any of you excluded a child for excessive snot. I'd post a pic of what I'm talking about but I think you could all visualize double barrel snot, hanging to the chin every frickin 5 min.
