Sunday night, our older daughter started complaining about having a scratchy throat. Monday morning, she looked pretty out of sorts and had both a sore throat and a bad headache. I kept her home – she was well enough to be bored and to was able to do some schoolwork, but she spent most of the day resting, listening to audio books, and munching on home-made apple sauce.
This was our first experience with kids being out sick in the covid world. Usually, I would just give it a couple of days to see how things go (because most colds clear up on their own), but now-a-day, I just wasn’t sure what was the proper procedure. So, I ended up calling our pediatrician and getting her tested (covid and strep). Are we supposed to have kids tested for covid every time they have cold symptoms? I am really not sure. Good news – she is feeling a little better and we got a note from the doctor that she could return to school today.
I am feeling a little bit of a scratchy throat. Wonder who is going to be next? Ugh, I guess passing around colds is part of the back-to-school deal. Tag, you are IT….
