Do I need to phone ofsted to tell them I am on Antbiotics?

**Mollymop** · 13-05-2009, 10:26 AM

Can anyone tell me? I don't think I do but I am not sure

I have "rip roaring" tonsilitus.

**FizzysFriends** · 13-05-2009, 10:27 AM

I wouldn't think so as they don't make your drousy so they wont affect the care of the children.

I never have love. Don't think you need to. Sorry to hear you're poorly. You must be so run down!

**Mollymop** · 13-05-2009, 10:46 AM

My sore throat never went. Went to see doc this morning and he said it wasn't flu that made me so unwell over the weekend it was tonsilitus. Hopefully I will be on the mend soon, now I have my pills. Only problem is I have to take them an hour before food (on an empty stomach) and I can't eat anything for 2 hours afterwards, BUT I gotta take 1 pill, 4 times a day!! So I can't eat at all!!! ????

I wouldn't phone ofsted.

We give enough in this job they don't own us.

Only if it affects the care of the children eg if they make you sleepy

**sarah707** · 13-05-2009, 11:22 AM

Antibiotics won't affect your ability to look after children.

The empty stomach bit is the most important, don't worry so much about the rest.

Hope you feel better soon! xx

I'd be phoning them every other week if we did !! ( virtually permenant cystitus ).

Hope you feel better soon , get some rest if you can.

Gosh i really feel for you,cystitis is hideous.

How on earth do you cope with minding at the same time?

LOOPYLISA · 13-05-2009, 12:17 PM

Try and take it easy hun, not sure if you should be minding, don.t know how contagious it is

Its nasty you have my sympathy, my throat is my weak spot when im run down, oh and this blooming ulcer in my mouth

**Mollymop** · 13-05-2009, 01:27 PM

Why would you need to tell Ofsted? You shouldn't be minding if you are so sick anyway so it won't affect the children. And, last time I looked, tonsillitis wasn't a reportable disease.

Hope you feel better soon.

**emler** · 13-05-2009, 03:27 PM

Poor you - hope you're feeling better soon

**ORKSIE** · 13-05-2009, 09:26 PM

Tonsilitis is not nice, hope you feelin better soon.
Hope you not minding cos you need lots of rest.

Well I had been unwell since last Thurs, just thought it was flu, cancelled mindees until Tues when I was feeling better as long as parents were ok, 2 were, the rest weren't. So I am working, they are before and after kids and from what the doc said I would have been contagious a few days before I became ill.
So I don't feel bad having a few of the school children, if I can work I will. It is up to the parent.

**angeldelight** · 14-05-2009, 06:29 AM

Crikey Ofsted would get fed up of me if I told them every time I was on them ha ha

Sorry to hear you have been so unwell Sandra

Big hugs get well soon

Angel xx
