  Cancel if your kid has a fever, too.

  I\'ve heard many different versions from various parents and nurses about green and yellow snot...some say that when the snot is clear, the kid isn\'t contagious...and when it\'s yellow or green, it is contagious. I am not sure of the exact rule of thumb on this one...I only have one baby and she doesn\'t go to daycare, so I\'m not well versed in colds and stuff...she did recently catch a cold (that spread to me) from a cousin who does go to daycare...I never made it a priority to check the color of his snot, so I\'m still not sure about all of this. Can anyone set the record straight?

  Great post. We've found that some parents just don't bother to pay any attention to whether their putting other kids at risk by exposing their sickly kids to them. We're very careful about that. We had when our son is sick and we'd feel extremely guilty if we infected a friend's kid.

  Agree w/ @wahoodad - you should cancel anything if you're kid has a fever. They probably won't feel like going anyway. Not sure about the color of snot - I think our pediatrician told us that it doesn't matter...a runny nose is contagious no matter what.

  The above mentioned situations should be tackled in the similar ways inorder to prevent others from getting infected. Also it is important as child needs rest when he is sick & wants peace. So in this case, anyone visiting from outside can disturb him.
