My child has been sick with strep twice in the last month and recently RSV, in which she is taking medication. Do you think it's safe for her to stay with her grandmother in Tennessee this time of year, coming from South Georgia? She has a history of complications with flu, COVID-19 while pregnant, and strep four times in the last three months. She is currently experiencing a runny nose, coughing, and was recently diagnosed with RSV a week ago. My concern is the change in weather from South Georgia to Tennessee and her tendency to remove her socks and hats, making it difficult to keep her warm.
