Sick note

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question but i have never needed a sick note before.
I have not been feeling well for the past month had a bad cough but the last week I have had more symptoms - sore throat, tiredness, breathless and haven't been able to work.
I am going to make a GP appointment tomorrow as I am getting worried about the cough now and also because I feel unwell with it.
I don't see myself been well enough for work so will need a sick note, do I just ask my GP for one? I feel silly having a sick note for a cold.

You self certify for the first week, if you need longer than a week off sick then yes you can all your GP for a sick note.
