re: Would you let your 5 year old play in a youth league game with low grade fever?

Yea I would hold out today but if stays under 100 through today you should be good. If it was almost 102 overnight, you want more than a couple hours below 100.

40 years ago, definitely. Today? Nope.

I didn’t know you, Oweo and Fr33 were doctors. Sounds like the OT was the perfect place to ask this question. I always thought Oweo stayed home and collected a disability check and that Fr33 was a gay aspiring poet. Glad I came here now.

I think I'd be more pissed off if you brought a sick child up to the game so she could spread it.

I decided to hold her out even though the doctor said she was fine. I’m not gonna take any risk. It was just hard to tell her she couldn’t play again when she has been so excited. It would be her first game.

And I should clarify, almost positive that she doesn’t have anything contagious. It’s an ongoing health problem she has that causes fever about once a week or every two weeks. It’s possible she has a cold or something but most likely it’s the same issue she has been having for a year.

This is what any medical professional would say. This thread has been pretty funny with all the overreacting

eta- although I can't tell from your post whether she was over 100 this time or for the last game.
I have had multiple doctors in my family and a low grade fever wasn’t really fever to them from what I remember. And they hated giving people antibiotics. Those are two things I remember learning from them.
I should have let her play because they cancelled her basketball game since they didn’t have enough players today. They needed one more, so I ruined it for the other kids because mine had a 99 degree temperature.

Is this after taking fever reducing meds? If not, she's fine to play.
No medicine today.

But she had a higher temp within 24 hours.
Kid needs to be at least 24 hours free of fever without having to use Tylenol or Motrin to get rid of fever.

She is 5 dude..
One time I was sick, had a fever.. A friend of mine was having an end of school party. I took some Tylenol. It dropped my fever and I felt better, but we were in the pool, I decided not to drink just because I still wasn't feeling 100%, but I was good enough to be out there. That night I felt worse than I did early that day before taking Tylenol. I don't remember what I had, but I just remember that I didn't do myself favors being out, in the pool, in the sun. I was really sick for several days. I just remember that lesson never left me.
I can understand if it is something really important, you can give her some meds and let her go out there.. But again this is 5 year old youth league.
Keep her home, monitor her situation and she can go back next weekend.

But you’re more accurate than a thermometer that “you don’t trust?”

Should probably read the thread before dropping in with this post

People are so damn risk averse.
Posted on 3/7/20 at 10:59 am to LNCHBOX
Naw this is what I do
Posted on 3/7/20 at 11:00 am to Vidic
Well done.

No shite. He just said his kid gets fevers frequently. Maybe time to buy a better thermometer.

That’s exactly what my wife said. I guess because she is a nurse also. I went with the safe choice even though she is for sure fever free now and the doctor said it was perfectly fine for her to play. I just feel like the mean daddy for not letting her play again since she doesn’t understand that she is sick and she feels good. She thinks I just don’t want to watch her play ball.

Pretty standard rule of thumb
We don’t let employees that are sick return to work until they meet that criteria

Wish my wife worked on your unit. They'd laugh if you tried to tell them you were staying with a 100 fever.
