Although be prepared to get a call to come pick her up later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202668 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:46:10 +0000 Alivoo01 2202668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DS is teething his 2 year moalrs right now. Came home yesterday with a low grade fever of 100. The teacher said he was fussy and lethargic. I gave him Tylenol when we got home, but he was acting normal. He woke up with no fever so I sent him to daycare. I told the teacher if he acts unwell again, I'll pick him up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202630 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:00:54 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2202630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably would at that temp, given she was feeling fine otherwise. However, we go to a small in home daycare, and our provider is awesome about letting me know during the day how she's doing.<br /> I did stay home with her a few weeks ago when she was really lethargic- she had croup, and was just feeling miserable. No fever, but the symptoms worried me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202626 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 06:52:54 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2202626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: The lethargy is what's making me think it could be something other than teeth :-( I might be able to have my mom watch her later this afternoon. </p> <p>@winniebee: It was when she woke at 4 this morning. I gave her some Motrin but she went to a normal temp within 25 min (before it kicked in).</p> <p>I'm going to see if DH can take her in late and have my mom pick her up (she gets off at 2:30) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202620 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 06:38:17 +0000 winniebee 2202620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep her home if she had a true fever of 100.4 or greater regardless of their cut off. If you suspect teeth I would dose Motrin and send her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202616 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 06:32:03 +0000 matador84 2202616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably would knowing that they'll call later or at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202613 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 06:27:22 +0000 regberadaisy 2202613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anyone else watch her? I'm less concerned about the temp but more so of the lethargy. You can send her but I'm thinking there's a good change you'll be getting a call. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202611 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 06:22:07 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2202611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: 101.1 they take the temp under the arm and add 1 degree to it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202601 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 06:15:33 +0000 MrsRcCar 2202601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is their fever cut off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-send-a-toddler-with-an-elevated-temp-to-daycare#post-2202598 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 06:11:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2202598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally I wouldn't but I just started my job yesterday and DD2 woke at 4am with a 99.5 fever. She was clingy and a little lethargic all day yesterday. She usually runs a fever for a few days right before a new tooth comes in, but I don't see any swollen gums. No other symptoms.<br /> I would try to have DH stay home but he has training/meetings off and on today. </p>
