Viral Ear and Throat Infection

[Rosey]

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone knows if Viral Ear and Throat infections are contagious? The baby also has gastro (caused by the infection?).

Not sure wether to keep my wee babe away or not, don't want her getting sick.

I'm pretty sure a viral throat infection is contagious. Better to be safe than sorry!

Yes viral infections are contagious.

Whether to quarantine or not really depends on the severity. And is really up to you.
