DS is almost 6 months old and since starting daycare has had about three colds. He's only had a fever once so the other two times we sent him to daycare. He started showing symptoms of a cold on Tuesday but didn't have a fever. By the time I picked him up Thursday afternoon he had spiked a fever and had a horrible cough to go along with his runny nose. Needless to say, he stayed home on Friday. He kept spiking a fever on Friday so we took him to the doctor Saturday morning and she said it was a possible sinus infection/ear infection. (It was hard for her to tell about his ears because he has a lot of wax, I guess!)
anyway, she prescribed amoxicillin and he's had two doses so far. He had a fever last night before he went to bed but when we checked this morning it was down to 100 (not fever range, rectally).
Sooooooo.....after all that, my question is, should we take him to daycare tomorrow? He needs to be fever free for 24 hours, which he may be but bc of the horrible cough and his general misery I'm not sure what to do? I don't want the other kids to catch anything (although it may be too late now and they may already have?) and I don't want to exacerbate his situation but he already missed Friday so I'm not sure!
What would you do?
