    Ok this is a small enough issue but one would like opinions on anyway, I have been out sick from work since last thursday with bronchitis which got worse over the weekend, yesterday I was coughing and choking like a mad thing and I also had a slight fever, this morning when i work up I felt a bit better and thought I should be well enough to back to work tomorrow, I decided to go for a walk but I wasnt out the door a few minutes when I started to cough and choke again and I also started to break out in a cold sweat, that was a few hours ago and as I write this I dont feel too bad so I dont know what to do, I have a cert for the 2 days I was out for last week and I could get that extended for one or two days this week, I just start to feel guilty when Im off work and starting to feel better,what should I do?

    Have a word with your GP to see if you're ready to go back.

    It may be that you need an extra day or two - it's better to go back when you'refeeling better rather than too soon. I've been there myself!
