Your child has been prescribed an antibiotic and you ask if it can be given at the Kita: what to say in German
Your child has been prescribed an antibiotic and you ask whether it can be given at the Kita.
💡
How it's done. The Kita gives medicine only with the parents' written consent and the doctor's instructions: you need the form, the original packet, the dose and the time; ask the Kita about its rules.Prepared by the Movko team, November 2026. This is language help, not legal or medical advice: check the rules with the office itself.
