Sickness-help!

Hi just my for opinions on what you would do if this was you? I've had covid and been off for 3 days sick as that's all I work in a week. I said I would come back today as felt better when I phoned. I had a migraine from day 4-9 of covid and it only went away Monday around midnight. I think I've prematurely agreed to go back when I am still unwell. I have the migraine back again and my sinuses are producing green snot which tastes infected. Sorry tmi. I had to go to out of hours on Monday because of the migraine and they said to present to a and e if it was still there Tues morning. Low and behold it went away, but now back with a vengeance. I feel guilty phoning in sick again and scared it might not go down as one absence and my work as strict on absences. I need to concentrate in my work and am scared of making a mistake. What do I do!? I don't want them to think I'm milking it.
Thanks anyone who is up!

If you haven’t returned to work since being off it will just be a continuation of your initial absence. Just phone and tell them that, actually, you haven’t fully recovered and don’t yet feel well enough to return.

I hope you feel better soon Flowers

green snot is infected
you might need antibiotics
agree, it will just be a continuation of your initial sickness, dont go back until you are fit
