Got better went to school a few days and sick again. The cycle keeps repeating itself. What do you all do?

Yes tt's true. My boy was taken care of by my mom up till he's 1 year old. Not once did he catch a flu bug during tt first year of his life. But aft I've changed workplace, it wasn't convenient to drop him off there so I decided to send him to playgrp. Within just 6 months, he caught HFMD twice. A few cases of runny nose and fever too despite alr taken the flu injection. I guess the immune system was still adjusting but now aft a year, he's sick less often now. I give him Scott's emulsion daily now and up his fruits intake since he's alr more than 2 years old. I wish I cld wfh but as a teacher I can't. I had my RO telling me to take less CCL (even tho I haven't even exceed the max no. of 6 days) but what can I do if my boy is sick right. Honestly I hate how some supervisors aren't exactly as supportive for working moms but tt's life. I take care of other ppl's children but can't even take time off to take care of my own. 😔
