I called in sick yesterday as I have a chest infection. It started last week with coughing which I carried on working with but over the weekend just got much worse with extreme lethargy, nausea, headache etc.
So I called in sick yesterday. Boss very supportive and told me to get well before coming back. I was meant to go back today but actually felt worse, the cough kept me up all night and this morning my penis was on fire, could barely walk and felt weak so I called in sick again.
Cough has actually got WORSE throughout the day but I don't know what to do. I went to dr yesterday who said it was a viral infection so could give me nothing for it but it's actually got worse not better.
I don't want to be off work 3 days in a row, I've only been in this job 3 months but the cough is actually quite disabling. It's so deep and angry and makes me feel like I'm going to throw up.
Should I actually call in sick for a cough?? I'm a nurse btw so also conscious about coughing and spluttering on my old people
