School & Anti b's

Aoife should be well enough to go into school tomorrow but she still has about 2 days worth of antibiotics to take has anyone been in this situation? Will schools give antibiotics if I take it in or will I need to go up there during the day to give them

Im of course gong to ask the teacher in the morning but if it will be a no I'd rather leave them in the fridge than carry them on the hour journey

School should be able to give the antibiotics. We have a form that has to be filled in by the parent that details the medication and when it has to be given/how much etc. then the first aider will give the medicine when required. I'm sure it won't be a problem.

All schools vary, may be worth a try on their website to see if they publish that policy, or a ring in the morning. Some won't due to safe stoarge issues.

When Isabelle was in school her school would not administer paracetamol but were fine giving antibiotics.

Our school won't give any meds so when A needed them a while ago I had to go in at lunchtime and give them to her.

You should be able to fill in a form giving permission as they are prescribed by a doctor.

Ours give them we just need to pop to the office and sign a form / make sure the meds are labelled properly x

This ^^

but their are some schools that will refuse and insist on you going to give them him

James' nursery will give antibiotics or any other medicine as long as the 1st 2 doses have been given by the parents at home and its prescribed.
They will keep it in the fridge if needed.
