What we should do if kid is coughing a lot using inhaler from 1 week and on antibiotic but nothing was helping him, parents also worried but couldn't take home due to work. Please suggest what we need as he is coughing a lot and still coming daycare and all kids affecting.

It is the parent's responsibility to care for him when sick and to make sure he has a plan with his medical provider for his health care needs. Daycare and preschool are for sick children. Parents need to work out a plan with their medical provider.

Sorry, meant to say daycare and preschool are for well children, not sick children. Too bad parents have to work, but if they are worried, they must address this/

Sorry but work doesn’t come before your kid. parents also worried but couldn't take home due to work.
This is a parent issue not a daycare issue.

Just say you understand her issue but you can’t let one child’s situation affect everyone else.

Sometimes decisions are for the greater good of all but that does mean it will seem unfair to a few.
You’re responsibility is to the group of kids as a whole not just one family’s situation.

Do you have an illness policy?
I would stop allowing them to drop off a sick child. That's not an option for them. YOU have the final say if/when the child is too sick for daycare based on his symptoms.
