dumb question - rashes and day care

DS has a rash allllll over his body. it's like small red dots. i called the ped this morning and after going over his symptoms she said that it's most likely caused by the Augmentin he's been on for a week (which makes sense b/c DH is allergic to amoxicillin, and that's in the Augmentin).

i didn't bring him to day care just in case it's something else (i also don't know if they will take him without a ped's note, and i can't bring him in until after 9 anyway).

i did the right thing by keeping him home, right? i know it seems like a dumb question, but DH seemed to be doubting my decision...

Even though it isn't contagious, the daycare probably would have sent him home anyway, bc they don't know what it is.

You did the right thing , you probably would have been called to pick him up anyway.

Of course... if that's what makes you feel better than why not. I kept Mason home a full week from daycare when he had a bad cold. He was better by Friday, but figured why take the chance.

Its not "Wrong"
You kept him home cause he had a rash.. that's YOUR decision.

I see nothing wrong with that at all.

AJ had Roseola which was a very scary looking rash-like spread all over her trunk. I sent her to Daycare.

Daycare was NOT going to send her home. They notified us the day of and we had told them she had gotten a shot so they assumed it was a reaction. In reality it was Roseola which was no longer contagious once the rash appeared anyway. Still I found out with a doctor visit and told them as I dropped her off and they were fine with it.

I say do what you need to do. That's why you are Mom! LOL
