Hi everyone!

I sent a child home on Friday before lunch. They were wheezing (this isn't why I sent her home) and had yellow nasal discharge. DCM told me child won't be coming to daycare Monday.

I sent a text today to ask how she was doing and she told me she is doing a lot better but was up with CROUP Saturday night but slept almost 13 hours last night. I told her my policy for CROUP was 7 days at home after treatment has started. The reason I am strict with croup is because 3 out 5 of my daycare kids have asthma and last time someone had croup they were out for 3 weeks.

She replied no fever and no antibiotics she had the croup cough the one night but wasn't having trouble breathing and from what I read it was unnecessary to do the steroid treatment unless the had trouble breathing.

Any suggestions !?
