Whooping Cough Question

Just got a call from a relative whose 22 month old was exposed to whooping cough at daycare and was put on Zithromax as a precaution. She was wondering if they should just stay home from Thanksgiving until they get culture results which will be available after 4 days on Friday. The child has no symptoms...

When DS was a baby something similar happened at his daycare and everyone in the center was put on zithromax as a precaution.

I've got a call in to DS' doctor to see if there's any cause for concern. DS is on zithromax every other day. The parents have been surfing the internet trying to find any information regarding exposure, etc and have come up with nothing. Their doctor is gone until next week.

Whooping Cough Question - Update

I just got a call from DS' doctor himself who indicated that DS should be fine being that he's on azithromicin. Whole thing makes me a little edgy, but I imagine there's a whole lot of things DS is exposed to on a regular basis at elementary school that I just don't KNOW about.

Just got a text from DH's cousin that their little girl's pertussis test was negative. Yea! I'm still just amazed that DS' doctor returned the call I left for his nurse in less than 15 minutes. I love that guy!
