[quote=Anonymous]My daycare does not exclude for RSV beyond the standard exclusion criteria: fever, diarrhea, vomiting, unable to participate fully in the activities/clearly sick (which includes things like excessive snot or an incapacitating cough).

Last time we had RSV, my preschooler was home for a few days where I thought she seemed low energy/clearly miserable (and coughing), then went back after she'd had a full day at home where she wasn't constantly sniffling and was largely back to her normal self (although still coughing, especially when lying down).  She was then home again for a day a few days later when she woke up in the middle of the night with an ear infection.  I'm pretty sure it actually resolved/she would have been healthy enough to go that day because she never complained of ear pain again after that one dose of Tylenol in the middle of the night but I wasn't going to send her to daycare when I wasn't sure and she'd only had like 7 hours of sleep.

For the same RSV round, my baby was home for six days straight (a whole week and then the next Monday) because he ran a low-grade fever for like four days and also can't blow his own nose yet so I have a lower bar for what I consider to be "unable to participate" levels of snot.[/quote]
