Bad chesty cold straight after holiday

Come back from holiday and on my first day back, I’ve got a horrific cold. I think it’s a chest infection, very bad constant hacking cough and my body is in so much pain from all the coughing. I feel so terrible.

would it look really bad if I go sick on my first /second day back from annual leave? I’ve had three other periods of sickness in last year due to chest infections etc, I have an autoimmune disease and on immunosuppressants and a young toddler who keeps picking crap up from nursery and passing it to me so have been unlucky this year. Never been so ill in my life since having a child.

I’m currently working from home and trying my best as no way I can go into office like this, but I’m struggling on calls and having to mute every two seconds on teams.

I can’t believe this has happened :(

Oh, love. If you’re ill, you’re ill. And you’re going to be iller for longer if you try to push on through it.
I’m sure your colleagues can hear that you’re struggling.
Hope you feel much better soon.
