do you take your baby out if they are sick?

Bryan came down with his first illness yesterday- he was way overdue to get sick considering he is 14 months, he has fever and ear infection. The fever has been pretty high at night ( sometimes 104.1) but during the day its low grade. He is on antibiotics- 2 doses as of now. My question is- do you go out or just hang out all day. I wanted to take him out for some fresh air and I need to pick up a few essentials but Im wondering if its ok? He seems to be ok- he's been playing like normal but I would hate to drag him around if he isnt feeling well either.

I dont know if I would take him to the store but maybe outside for walk instead.

If I needed something, I would. I would try to keep it down to a minimum though.
eta ^^^^because he's on antibiotics

I would go for a walk for fresh air too.

I would absolutely take her out for a walk in the stroller. Errands only if they were walking since going in and out of the car always makes her unhappy.

In the summer I would take DD out if she was sick but in the winter I would try not to.

No, because it wouldn't be fair to her or to anyone else I was around I wouldnt want to get them sick. I do take her for walks when shes sick, fresh air.
