if you really have sinusitus just cough up some blood on a napkin and then nonchalanty leave it on the table for your stupid ass boss to see.. sinusitus is no joke.. and super contagious..

it is here. I've been taking antibiotics for three days (green thick stuff + blood was coming out of my nose all the time). Started to come out of my eyes too (I know how this sounds).
To make it worse, the pressure pinched a nerve on my upper jaw leaving with no sensitivity on the entire right side of my face. Try that once.
I started a new treatment today with a nose+ear+throat Dr, they did some Ultrasound tests, confirmed all the sinuses are plugged shut and shot me an antibiotic cocktail straight in the vein. I have to go tomorrow and the day after tomorrow for the next dosage. Krankgeschrieben the whole week.
Not to mention I do feel like shit

I think that it should depend on your symtoms and the severity of it.Also what anti biotics are you on?
If your boss is being an ass the next best thing is to show up sick to prove that you are really ill, either that or get him a physicians note stating that u should be resting

why is the selection of antibiotics important? Obviously, one takes whatever is prescribed. Neither me nor my Manager are in a position to tell absolutely anything against or in favor of the treatment?
Or do you expect the manager to say something like "Nehhh, that is some BS antibiotics, take this one instead and come to work, you will be up and running in notime" I'm happy shit works differently here, since the insurance pays my salary while I'm sick, companies have normally no issue with employees getting the rest they need to be back in 100% mode.

that is why you go to the Dr instead of simply staying home and willing it to go away, once you go the Dr you ask for a report where it says you are sick and the recommended (or mandatory as in my case) rest time. Over here they don't even need to write down the cause, the form simply says "xxxxx cannot work due to sickness in the period from xxxxx to xxxxx "
no company can turn that down.

yes. if it hinders your overall wellbeing, chances are it ihnders your productivity, and so staying at work to fulfil some idiot "work ethic" is false economy, and a horrible way to live. when youre sick, support your body via food, sleep, comfort, and drugs where appropriate, and your body will support you when you need to work.
