Am I doing the right thing?
So I found out I have an ear infection three days ago but I’ve been dealing with the pain for a total of 5 days...I missed one day of work because the pain was so bad and after having medication for 3 days I still have no relief so I went back to doctors and they told me I actually have an inner and outer ear infection, the med I have was only able to treat the outer infection and I can’t get the second medication until tomorrow morning. I had to call into work again because the doc looking in my ear made the pain that much worse. I have a fever, a sore jaw/face and neck and nausea I feel pain all day even with Tylenol and my coworkers aren’t happy at all because I’m not coming in. I feel bad because I want to cover my shift but my health is more important. I have a four year old who goes to school in the am I just want to feel better for her and she’s even bumped my ear a few times on accident and caused even more pain totally not her fault but I just want to go back to work when I feel better....is that wrong? I feel guilty but I never call in unless I’m truly unable to work.
