I just sent out a letter last week about illness. One of the things I put in it was to please not medicate your child prior to drop-off as it hides symptoms.
But, I said nothing. What is wrong with me? Anyone have some backbone I can borrow?
Be careful what you ask for.
If it was a diagnosed ear infection motrin would have been the better choice and the ped would have told her so. Tylenol is an antiplatelet for fever. Motrin is an anti-inflammatory for swelling pain. You may have been played.
The good news is that you will know for sure in 4 hours instead of 8.
