Question about sick kids...
Lets say a child that DC was in contact with on a daily basis went to the doctor on Sunday and was told they have strep throat. When would you let your child play with that child again?
I'm just trying to figure out if i'm being an overprotective paranoid mom. I don't think so but who knows.

Re: Question about sick kids...
Assuming they started antibiotics on Sunday, probably Tuesday-Wednesday.

If that child had already started a course of antibiotics, I would have a playdate.
If they didn't, I would wonder why they hadn't...but I would hope that mother would keep the kid at home for his own sake.

Re: Question about sick kids...
I probably wouldn't, but I'm also pretty overprotective.
There's nothing worse than seeing your baby sick so I would avoid it if I thought it was a possibility.

Antibiotics were started Sunday after the dr appointment.
So if antibiotics are started it's not contagious?

I think within 24 hours the antibiotics have started working, and the child shouldn't be contagious. But its already Wednesday, so its much more than 24 hours. You should be fine.

I was thinking a week too. Rylans cousin has strep. She lives next door so they normally see each other everyday and don't want her breathing next to him...lol.

I'm no doctor, but that was always my impression about antibiotics!
