Difference in how colleagues are being treated

One of my colleagues was sent home this week due to period cramps and feeling unwell.

I’ve mentioned to my manager that I feel really unwell - my period, I think I’ve got a mild flu, I’m exhausted and really lightheaded. I was told to get a drink of water and crack on. AIBU to think this is unfair?

There's a lot of variables so it doesn't necessarily mean people are being treated differently.

Just go home if you're unwell.
