Dear Experts, I'm kind of in a bind. My kid got a super bad cold and developed an earache after my outbound flight. The doctor warned that <too many details redacted>, and *at present* advised against taking the return flight home on Saturday due to the risk of damage. But he'd know for sure on *Friday*. In my years of travel, I'd never run into a situation like this.

Does United have any doctor's notes exceptions?

What steps would you take in this situation?
