Last night she puked from either being terrifically upset or from choking on something--I'm not sure what happened even though I was right there with her when it happened.
So, that being said, I would probably let her come, on the condition that if she pukes again she will be picked up ASAP. She probably won't. Maybe ask the mom if she feels that the puke was due to the coughing.
Yep, I know, not a popular opinion on these boards, but it is what I would do.
i agree - when i'm congested and need to get phlegm out - i pretty much have to cough until i puke. some people can just make that disgusting noise and get it out, but i can't. i was actually doing it just a couple weeks ago and i felt just fine w no fever. TMI, i know.
