Medical WWPD - me

We've had a cough running through here for weeks. Today I'm coughing worse and have nasal congestion and a low fever - 99.3. I just came back from maternity leave 3 weeks ago but would you skip work tomorrow and go to the doctor? Just skip work or do nothing? I hate overreacting but nobody wants the sick person at work.

If I felt like I could go in and not be miserable, I would with those symptoms. But I wouldn't feel bad staying home if I felt like shit either. I avoid the doctor as much as possible and wouldn't go for that.

Ugh. In the last five minutes it's up a whole degree and I have chills and aches. This sucks.

I think your co-workers would prefer you stay home.

Because you have a young one in the house, it might be best to hit the doctor? I mean, you probably have a virus and need to rest.

This thing won't die! The baby was in the ER a few weeks back with it and they both went to the doctor last weekend with it and the older one got meds that don't seem to have worked. FML.

If it had been running through the house for weeks and I had a fever, yes, I would go to the dr.
