Thanks for this comment, and for asking the important question about returning to school or day care. It’s not a simple answer, but I’ll mull it over and put something out soon.

Good old fashioned sponge down and lying in front of a fan. The post did raise a question for me. How can parents know when to send their children back to creche, preschool or school when they have been sick. At what point are they no longer infectious to the other children and teachers? Also when your child has the early symptoms of a cold, is it okay to send them to school with a mild fever, cough, runny nose and give them analgesics to suppress the symptoms? I.e when do you simply make the call to keep your child home from school? I look forward to your response blog.
