You rise from a fitful nights sleep with a sore throat and headache. Yourtemperature is slightly over 100 degrees, but judging by how crummy you feel,you wonder if it will spike to 103 degrees by days end. Should you dragyourself to work and risk infecting coworkers" Or should you phone in sick,even though your boss desperately needs you to pitch in during a stressfulweek"

People are concerned about calling in sick, but if youre really feelingunwell and especially if you have a fever, you need to stay home, saysCatherine Cummins, MD, MSN, a health sciences assistant clinical professor atthe University of California-Irvine School of Medicine. A little bit of commonsense goes a long way.
