Would you quarantine your toddler with glandular fever?

I know. My boyfriend in year 12 had it and had to skip finals exams. I kissed him heaps to try and skip exams too. No such luck

I would probably call and let her know and see what she decides. I had glandular fever whilst I was pregnant with ds2, have no idea how I picked it up. They told me that glandular fever has been known to cause deformities in the first trimester but its rare so there isn't that much info about it. After the 2nd trimester it isn't meant to cause any issues, ds2 is obviouslly fine. But because she is pregnant I would just let her know. I struggled with the exhaustion side of it being pregnant and glandular fever.

Trish. If you drank out of the same glass or she coughed on you you could have got it.

and at you trying to get it off your BF Meow!

Oh yuck, that's not fun for you! I really hope because your DS is so little, the symptoms aren't too bad for him.

Unless he was feeling really sick and like he wanted to stay home, I would probably take him places. The only other thing would be not taking him places where he is likely to be exposed to more sickness because I think it can make gladular worse.

My DH has had it three time - I know you are only meant to get it once but his recurred every 2 years for a while. The last time he had severe chronic fatigue after the last time for about 18 months. It wasn't fun.

I hope your DS is feeling better soon!
