[Custodial Dad]:
You refused text on this topic, so I’m emailing you to notify you that [daughter]’s left ankle and foot are swollen, doen to her toes. [daughter] stated foot hurts. She is playing with paper flowers. She ate already today.
I did the warm compress and calamine lotion as you advised last evening. No improvement.
What do you want me to do now? Please let me know. I’d like her to be comfortable.

Spoke with [town in home state] Pediatricians:
It is not suggested we take [daughter] to urgent care or emergency room for her foot nor her sore throat.
For her foot:
Soak it in warm water, keep it elevated. Have her rest her foot.
If its itchy, you can apply a hydrocortisone cream for three days only. Do not apply it longer than three days.
Otherwise, you can give her benedryl per her weight. I just googled the dosage, feel free t do the same:

If it is not better in three days, we need to bring her in. By that time table, she will be home and I can take her straight to the pediatrician’s office as they keep Sunday hours.
As for her throat:
I mentioned my concerns that she had an abundance of sore throats last fall according to her records and that I personally witnessed [The Ex’s Current Husband] smoking and that [daughter] mentioned you smoked all circa that time. It was suggested to have all parties refrain from smoking near, around and in the presence of [daughter]. It was also suggested for the party to change their clothing and wash their hands after each cigarette to reduce the effects of second hand smoke.
Her throat could also be the result of allergies and the drastic change in climate from [home state] to [other state]. Or she simply could have a cold but being that it is so considerably mild, treatment doesn’t appear to be necessary. Rest and plenty of fluids was suggested. Warm liquids like tea, she mentioned I think her Grandmother or Grandfather making her rose tea that she likes, maybe they can make some for her. Also, if she is ill maybe not allowing her to stay out past 10 pm would be a good option. If her throat is uncomfortable, you can give her tylenol (http://www.jaxpediatrics.com/forms/TylenoXpdf) but I would prefer we not give her so many OTC medications at once.
Just to note, our pediatrician prefers we not bring our children in to see them at every sniffle. Studies have shown that going into the pediatricians office too often actually causes more harm than good in contracting virus and bacteria. We have never missed a visit that required a doctors care. And from my observations as a father, none of this warranted such an urgent response which was confirmed by the offices I spoke with today and yesterday. Thank you for keeping me informed but please - In the event of an emergency, because of the sudden abundance of texts and emails, call me directly.
[Step Mother] said that [daughter] sounded well and in good spirits. She didn’t sound as if she was in any discomfort and was quite ccheerful. Glad to hear that.

And to confirm the statements by [orthodontist] yesterday -
Warm salt water rinse, brush the palate extender and ensure she is not eating inappropriate foods such as gummy/chewy candies, nuts, popcorns. Her palate extender, as it has not been adjusted in quite some time, should not be causing any issues or disturbances but he is happy to see her when she comes home.
Thanks again.
