Em, shes had the cold since sunday. Sunday and monday were the worst days, yesterday and today she still has a 'little sniffle' according to her. Shes wiped her nose a few times today, but she sounds really sick thanks to losing her voice!
She is the same as Tanstar's DD, she could still have a runny nose for a couple of weeks, but be fine in every other way. Thats why I ask. I cant stand it when parents send contagious kids to care, and I dont want to do that. But at the same time what is considered contagious?
Hard to know I guess but a cold is considered infectious until symptoms are gone. That's another reason they are so easily spread I guess. Sorry wasn't having a go at you just at the green snot thing because I've seen really sick kids without green snot. To be safe I'd give a cold a week and a half if just has residual symptoms and has shown rapid improvement.
What Tan says. Green snot and a fever keep them at home.
If you keep them home for every cold and sniffle they will barely go to school for the first year or two.
