When to stay home from work?

So, I'm sure I don't have H1N1 -- no fever, no chills, body aches, etc.  But I do have some sort of cold or something.  My throat is SERIOUSLY sore -- as in I can barely swallow anything.  I have a bit of a cough from the sore throat.   I don't feel all that sick, though -- just a bit more tired than usual (which isn't saying much) and a bit congested.  If the sore throat isn't better tomorrow I'm going to call to see my PCP anyway.  But, at what point do you decide to stay home from work -- for everyone else's sake as well as your own?

    Personally, unless I'm absolutely needed at work, I stay home at the on-set of a cold.  I hate giving it to everyone else, but more than that, I think I recover faster if I just get that rest immediately.  Get well soon!

    I don't know what your job is, but given that you're expecting, I would stay home and rest rather than wait for things to get worse.

    Otherwise, I stay home if I have no voice (I'm a therapist and it makes my job hard!), if I have a fever, or if I were throwing up, but I never throw up.  Or a diagnosed problem like strep and the antibiotics haven't kicked in and I'm still contagious.

    i'd stay home or work from home (since I can for my job, but not sure if you can do that).  I'd get some rest too.  sorry you are sick.

    This.  Hope you feel better soon!  I had a really really bad sore throat earlier in the week, but after the first day it was a lot better.
