Would you go to school if you are sick?

[Anonymous]

I have a sore throat and a mild fever, with my nose quite stuffy.

I have already been home for two days, and i dont like to be away from school that long. I'm learning to be a salesassistant. Already at 20 missed lessons, they call in to have a chat.. at 50 you are automatically thrown out. I have an appointment with my doctor at 1 PM tomorrow, but i could show up for the first couple of lessons if i take something to help with the fever. But will that make it harder for my doctor to make a diagnosis? There is also the thing that i risk infecting my classmates...

Yes. When it comes to work, you have to go to work, unless you've been told not to from a doctor otherwise you won't get paid. Your illness isn't major, just make sure you take medication and have everything you need with you. Going out and continuing life as usual can speed up the process of recovering. You'll be better within a week so no need to see a doctor and make sure to cover your mouth and nose when coughing/sneezing and wash your hands regularly to avoid spreading it.

Um, i go to school, not work. And i get paid no matter what.

And i thought rest is always best for a speedier recovery.

A lot of conditions worsen or are prolonged with rest, i. e bad back, colds (which is what you have). It depends on the condition. You rest with the flu and more serious illnesses.

You get paid? For what? Doing the chores? I know you go to school, I was simply saying that it's not easy to have days off when you've got a job and the majority will just brave it and go into work so you can go into school.

No way, I won't go anywhere if I have a fever, just laying at home and waiting for death.😷💀

if it's not that bad I'd still go and then call out sick in the middle of the day.
