Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Anyone Require a Note From Doctor???
Reimel61 10:34 AM 11-02-2020
DCM texted today and said 11month dcg has a fever and she was keeping her home today and said dcg was teething. These are dcg first teeth coming in. DCM said fever goes down when she gives her Tylenol but then go back up after it wears off. My response was fever free for 24 hours with no meds and a doctor slip stating diagnosis (ear infection, cold, etc.) and that she was safe to return to daycare. She texted back and ask if a doctor note was still needed if the fever was low grade. I replied Yes.

"According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), babies may have a “very slight increase in temperature” whenever they’re growing a new tooth." So if this is the case why would you medicate for a very slight increase??

I was wondering if anyone else requires a note for these types of things now during Covid times??? Also wondering what to do next if she tells me her Doctor won't see the child or give a note??

Thanks
