Is it harmful to go ice skating if you are recovering from an ear infection and bronchitis?

Asked by jonsblond (43759points) March 2nd, 2009 from iPhone

My 5 year old daughter is recovering from an ear infection and bronchitis. She has been ill for 10 days now and just finished her antibiotics. She still has a runny nose and terrible cough in the morning (no fever).

She has been taking ice skating lessons and this week is preparations for the ice show on Friday and Saturday. Tuesday and Thursday are the dress rehearsals.

My concern is that when she is healthy, she gets a snotty nose on the ice. With her illness added to this, will it be a set back?

I will of course call her doctor if I have any concerns, but I was wondering if anyone here on fluther had any suggestions? Would you keep your child home and miss out on the end of a wonderful learning experience?
