Child with Barky cough

[Busy ECE mommy]

My health policy states any child with a barky or wheezy or gagging cough will be sent home and must stay home the next day. If they can't hear, what do they do if it becomes full blown croup in the middle of the night and she can't breathe? I've been to the ER several times with both of my kids in the middle of the night and they stayed all night in hospital getting Ventolin treatments via mask. It can turn very serious quickly, and I am not hearing impaired. Send her home with instructions to see a doctor. She might need puffers or antibiotics. Better safe than sorry.
